This report considers the potential for using permit trading as a policy implementation mechanism in the field of solid waste management. The focus is on waste generated as a result of consumption by households, and on waste directly related to this consumption (e.g. waste transit packaging discarded by retailers, etc.). This broadly corresponds to municipal waste.1 While this is only one part of the overall waste stream it is a significant policy issue, both in its own right and within the broader context of resource productivity. It also offers plenty of scope for the application of permit-trading systems.
