Globalisation has brought potential opportunities as well as challenges in waste management sector. On the one hand, it has facilitated by knowledge dissesmination in the from of best practices, technologies for waste hierarchy framework, streggthening of global recycle markets, signing of various treaties and conventions to manage waste in an environmentally sound manner. On the other hand, it is tremendously contributing to waste footprints, pressuring (interfering) the regional governments to follow international standards, overlapping of various treaties and laws, explotation of waste workers and resulting to various global externalities. The major challenge is to manage the process of globalisation in such a way that it promotes environmental sustainability and equitable human development. Thus, the paper encapsulates the globalization and waste sector interface from three dimensions-economy, knowledge and governance.
