As the global population increases, waste management is becoming an increasingly pertinent issue.

The Waste and Recycle 2009 Conference is on this week looking at West Australia’s recycling habits and considering how we can better plan, manage and understand the waste we make.

Dr Lisa Skumatz is an US based economist with more than fifteen years experience developing practical, economic solutions to waste management.

She’ll be delivering a keynote address at the conference later today.

Travis Collins caught up with Dr Skumatz and asked her how big an issue waste management is on a global scale.
