TLDR
The article discusses the limitations of waste-based key figures and shows the need for more process-oriented indicators, as part of the development of national waste prevention programs, and the relevance of different barriers that have to be overcome in order to make prevention an effective top priority in the waste hierarchy.About:

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an indicator set for integrated sustainable waste management (ISWM) in cities both North and South, to allow benchmarking of a city's performance, comparing cities and monitoring developments over time.
Benchmark Indicators for Integrated Sustainable Waste Management in Cities
TL;DR: The paper presents an indicator set for integrated sustainable waste management (ISWM) in cities both North and South, to allow benchmarking of a city's performance, comparing cities and monitoring developments over time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progress and challenges to the global waste management system
TL;DR: The study leads to the conclusion that the current, rather isolated efforts, in different systems for waste management, waste reduction and resource management are indeed not sufficient in a long term sustainability perspective.

Identification of key assessment indicators of the zero waste management systems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identified the core zero waste indicators which could be used to assess the performance of the zero waste management systems and rated the indicators from not needed to very high priority.

Evolving theories of eco-innovation: A systematic review
Natasha Hazarika,Xiaoling Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted a systematic review of the articles focusing on the significance of theories in relation to the process of eco-innovation, in order to investigate the evolving theories of ecoinnovation and highlight the existing research gaps, and to identify directions for potential theoretical development that would be valuable for a deeper system change.

Regime shifts to sustainability through processes of niche formation : the approach of strategic niche management
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe how technical change is locked into dominant technological regimes, and present a perspective, called strategic niche management, on how to expedite a transition into a new regime.

End-of-Pipe or Cleaner Production? An Empirical Comparison of Environmental Innovation Decisions Across OECD Countries
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed a variety of factors that might enhance firms' propensity to implement cleaner products and production technologies instead of end-of-pipe technologies and found that regulatory measures and the stringency of environmental policies are positively correlated with clean production, while cost savings, general management systems, and specific environmental management tools tend to favor clean production.

Environmental evaluation of municipal waste prevention.
TL;DR: Clear evidence of the environmental benefits of waste prevention is provided and has specific relevance in climate change mitigation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methods to monitor and evaluate household waste prevention.
TL;DR: There appears to be an emerging consensus that no single approach is sufficient on its own, rather a ‘hybrid’ method using a suite of monitoring approaches — usually including surveys, waste tonnage data and monitoring of campaigns — is recommended.
