Experiences with and the viability of a recycling pilot project in a Cape Town township

This paper documents the experience with an NGO-initiated recycling programme in Hangberg Township, Cape Town. The 11-week trial project achieved 70% sign-up but suffered substantial drop-out. The NGO’s attempt to brand block leaders as ‘eco-heroes’ was unsuccessful and there were concerns about the distribution of project benefits. The project diverted 26% by mass of the estimated solid waste refuse stream of 2.5 kg per person per week and made R1752 from selling 1.965 tons of recycling. Some 970 kg of compostables were diverted but not processed as part of the project. Project accounts revealed a benefit–cost ratio of 0.123 in which the sale of recyclables and landfill costs avoided were the only benefits and wages and consumables the main costs. While a more equitable distribution of benefits could improve the cost–benefit ratio, there are other good reasons for donors to fund projects of this nature.     

The socio-economic differences between landfill and street waste pickers in the Free State province of South Africa

Waste picking is an important survival strategy of many people throughout the developing world. South Africa has a sizeable waste picker population who ply their trade on municipal landfill sites as well as on the streets of cities and towns. This study lifts the lid on this neglected area of research by analysing and comparing landfill and street waste pickers side by side in a socio-economic context. Samples of waste pickers were drawn from the three main municipalities of Mangaung, Matjhabeng and Metsimaholo in the Free State province of South Africa and a questionnaire-based survey was conducted. Among the findings was that waste picking offers a financial lifeline when, due to inadequate schooling and grinding poverty, individuals would be hard pressed to find employment in the formal economy. The study lays an important foundation for further comparative and qualitative research into this important segment of South Africa’s informal economy.

Research on agricultural recycling economy in main grain-growing area

For a long time, the main food production area is bearing the task of national food security. It makes the area face not only the pressure of increasing peasant＇s income and shifting surplus rural labor force, but also the double restraint between territory ecological safety and resource shortage. The author thinks that it is the certain choice for solving above-mentioned difficult problems to develop recycling economy. Under the guidance of this thought, he has made the guideline and put forward the conductive suggestions for the main food production area to develop recycling economy.

苏南经济发达地区农村固体废物现状及对策分析

太湖由于高强度的开发和水环境治理的滞后,水环境污染日趋严重。突出表现在河网水质的污染和太湖的富营养化,流域内水质型缺水和水污染矛盾不断发生和发展,己成为流域经济社会可持续发展的制约因素。以江苏宜兴地区农村固体废物资源化调查为例,通过对示范村的农户进行实地调查,获得太湖周边地区经济较发达的农村生活垃圾产生情况及垃圾特性,并了解当地村民的环境保护意识,分析农村生活垃圾回收利用的可行性,为农村生活垃圾的资源化利用提供决策依据。     

论日、美、西欧农地制度设定中的经验与我国农地制度设定中的缺陷

日、关及西欧等国的农地制度设定中的经验在界定社会利益、生态利益等方面遵从了市场逻辑,能够很好地协调农地利用中的经济利益、社会利益和生态利益,并促进现代农业发展。我国的农地制度在这方面存在缺陷,导致很多外部性行为,也限制了农业领域的“企业家才能”作用的发挥。     

电子废弃物回收利用的物理分选技术

电子废弃物在未来5-10年的年增量估计为25％左右，电子废弃物环境污染问题和潜在资源价值须高度重视。分析了电子废弃物的主要特点及其与物理分选相关的性质，详细介绍了物理分选的研究现状厦发展方向。认为正确界定电子废弃物，做好电子废弃物分类、拆解，实现减容减重。充分利用电子废弃物中物质成分和物理、化学性质差异，发展亚微米尺度金属粉末、玻璃纤维、塑肢粉末的物理分选技术，是实现电子废弃物合理回收利用待解决的技术问题。

废旧电器再生利用价格形成与运行机制研究

废旧电器回收再生利用产业化具有广阔前景和重大意义,但产业链价格理论与形成机制不完善制约着产业健康发展。废旧电器回收再生利用价格形成与运行机制研究应以产业链协调发展为原则,政府管制为驱动力。用循环经济理论。兼顾我国现阶段废旧电器的垃圾和商品两个属性,从技术、经济、社会3个层次研究其回收再生利用物质、价值和行为3个形态循环机理与互动关系;从生产者延伸制出发研究产业链各主体责任体系与运行机制：以产业链有效运行为目的,研究特许经营下再生利用补贴政策与实施机理,形成政府产业价格调控与管制方法,构建产业发展科学评价体系,形成价格市场竞争与合理补贴系统理论．提供产业可持续发展决策依据。     

Chinese and Indian Multinationals: A Firm-Level Analysis of their Investments in Europe

Abstract

This paper contributes to the literature on Chinese and Indian multinationals investing in Europe through an empirical investigation about their identity, their characteristics and the association between their features and their international strategies. The investigation exploits a database, named EMENDATA (Emerging Multinationals’ Events and Networks DATAbase), at the level of the investing firms. In relation to the mode of entry, we find that greenfield investments are a more likely option for large-sized companies. Moreover a high propensity for innovation is associated with a high probability to enter with an acquisition and with technological asset-seeking investments. Finally, high profitability is needed to invest in the EU-core countries.
