Generation of solid waste is a problem of great environmental significance in the Mexican Federal District. With an estimated daily generation of 12 500 tons, waste management is a priority for the district government. Integrated waste management programmes have been implemented in the Mexican Federal District in the past. They have failed. This research has examined the most recent initiative in an effort to discover the causes of failure, using a case study approach. In addition to identifying barriers to and opportunities for implementation of an effective integrated waste management system in the Federal District, this research recommends options for a newly proposed waste management system with the aim of achieving the objectives desired by the government, while aiding in the pursuit of sustainable development.
固体废物的产生是墨西哥联邦区一个具有重要环境意义的问题。估计该地区每天产生 12500 吨固体废物，因此，废物管理是该地区政府的当务之急。过去，墨西哥联邦区已经实施了综合废物管理方案，但都以失败告终。本研究采用案例研究方法，对最近的一项举措进行了审查，以努力找出失败的原因。除了确定在联邦区实施有效的综合废物管理系统的障碍和机会外，本研究还为新提出的废物管理系统提出了一些选择方案，旨在实现政府的目标，同时促进可持续发展。
