| Abstract: | Biodegradable waste constitutes the largest single fraction of municipal solid waste, poses treatment and land-filling problems and is subject to specific targets in European Union member states. Despite the environmental and economic benefits of home-composting and its potential to contribute to a circular economy, the determinants of this particular waste stream, and the potential of a waste tax to induce it, has received little attention in economics. The present study specifically examines the potential of a waste tax to reduce biodegradable waste and encourage substitution into composting. [excerpt] |
