摘要

固体废物回收利用是可持续经济发展的重要组成部分。研究表明,对原材料日益增长的需求以及与固体废物管理相关的困难,促使回收利用发展成为 21 世纪推进可持续发展的合理战略。虽然纳米比亚和南部非洲其他地区开展的各种固体废物管理研究都强调了增值过程,但重点一直放在单一废物流、行为者行业、减少废物的选择或关于回收处理系统的建议上。本文旨在强调纳米比亚回收行业中各种可回收材料的价值链,这项工作可能有助于决策者了解该行业如何促进可持续工业增长和创造就业机会。本研究采用描述性案例研究设计,属于定性研究。研究结果表明,纳米比亚的回收利用行业可加工多种可回收产品,如塑料、纸张和玻璃瓶。除塑料外,回收材料的增值仅限于预加工阶段。该行业的全面增长仍有待实现。考虑到对可持续经济增长的益处,政策和干预计划应在全国范围内促进原材料的更多增值。

Value Addition of Recyclable Solid Waste Materials: The Case of Namibia
Solid waste recycling is an important component of sustainable economic development. Research indicates that the growing need for raw materials and the difficulties associated with managing solid waste have led to the development of recycling as a rational strategy for advancing sustainability in the twenty-first century. While value-addition processes are highlighted in various research on solid waste management carried out in Namibia and other parts of southern Africa the focus has been on single waste streams, actors industry, waste reduction options or recommendations on recycling processing systems. This paper aims to highlight value chains of a variety of recyclable materials in the Namibian recycling industry an endeavour which may assist policymakers in understanding how the industry can contribute to sustainable industrial growth and employment creation. The study was a descriptive case study design, which was qualitative. Results indicate that in Namibia recycling industry processes a wide range of recyclable products such as plastic, paper and glass bottles. Except for plastic, the value addition of recovered materials was limited to the pre-processing stage. The full growth of the industry is still to be realised. Policy and intervention programs should promote more value addition in raw materials in the country as a whole considering the benefits to sustainable economic growth.
