The political and industrial significance of the new environmentalism of the 1980s came from the recognition of growing public pressure for environmental quality and product reliability. Attention was turned to waste as the product of consumption. As the political economy of waste was explored, new issues were raised: new technologies, recycling, pollution havens, waste minimization, location of landfill sites and incinerator facilities, and environmental crime, responsibility and planning. The 1990s sees the advocates of cradle to grave' responsibility still battling the promoters of market forces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the major developments in the study of waste collection and disposal was the new forms of data collection and handling technology.
