Abstract
Researchers with the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) have developed, under the resource recovery and reuse (RRR) program, novel approaches that simultaneously reduce the waste burden and increase the supply of resource inputs in developing countries.As IWMI strives to replicate these approaches in Africa and Asia, it can be expected to generate considerable benefits, including reduced dependence on imported raw materials, less environmental damage and the creation of new "green" industries.
