Original abstract
Waste management system plays a significant role in sustainable development and the Circular Economy (CE) transition. It is important but challenging to consider an integrated system in assessing and improving the sustainability of waste management. This article discusses the characteristics and contribution of an Integrated Waste Management System at the process and macro-level to reduce environmental impact. The potential pitfall of expected gain reduction in environmental footprint mitigation is also highlighted, emphasizing through burdening and unburdening footprint, rebound effect contributed by increasing waste generation and pollution haven hypothesis related to Environmental Kuznets curve.
