International collaboration in waste management such
as that between Thermoselect and IWT-is increasing
around the world. At the International Solid Waste
Association (ISWA) in Copenhagen, Denmark, Lise Uhre,
assistant manager, confirmed that “the waste industry is
definitely one of the fastest growing industries all over the
world.” Waste management techniques vary from one
country to the next, depending on such diverse factors as
economics, population density and politics. Whatever the
approach, however, privatization looms as a major trend
in the industry.
