The social cost of waste Tilburg University We develop a growth model to estimate the social cost of waste. We integrate material flows into a Brock-Mirman economic growth framework and derive a formula for the social cost of waste. Our calibration for plastic use suggests that the social cost of plastic waste is significantly higher than its market price, indicating a pressing need for policy intervention. The model shows an increasing historical and future plastic dependency in the economy and substantial GDP losses due to plastic waste if not addressed. | |
