They also take into consideration the key challenges that remain to be addressed. The recommendations are based on the report’s research and take into account the socio-political and economic landscapes of developing countries, with the aim of guiding policymakers and waste management practitioners to leverage the role of the private sector in establishing a self-sustaining enterprise with minimal reliance on government involvement in the Global South. It recognizes the limited regulatory framework for waste management in these regions and emphasizes the need for adaptability to local dynamics.
