Why is it important?
This paper provides a global overview of the solid waste research versus solid waste management expected to motivate research on measurement and evaluation of the impacts of past solid waste research on management of solid waste worldwide.
Perspectives
It is important to investigate whether research is driving solid waste management or is solid waste management driving research in different countries and between developed and developing countries? If research is making impacts on solid waste management among nations, at what rate or impact factor? If not significant, then identifying and addressing the preventive factors should become subject of future research.
