Specifically, regions such as North America and Western Europe have implemented numerous successful programs relating to resource recovery. However, there are also programs which failed in their purpose. As economic advancement is achieved, it is suggested that focus should not only be on technological advances but on policies and regulations as well.

Managing organic residuals

Article Abstract:

Waste production in developing nations averages between 0.3 and 2.5 pounds per capita daily. The uncontrolled degradation of this organic waste can cause serious environmental problems. The use of biotechnology to manage organic residues will clearly provide many benefits. Economically developing countries, however, must use the right tactics in exploiting biotechnology based on their specific situations, constraints and requirements.
