As business as usual has become the mantra of today's world, it's unlikely to see a decrease in hazardous waste generated from greater economic growth.

Under such circumstances in capitalism, land conversion and resource exploitation, which generate financial income, are highly prioritised over conservation, which is not necessarily beneficial in monetary terms. To halt ecosystem degradation, thus, the values of ecosystem services need to be visualised and economic...
