It seems that this presentation was a real hit. In ISWA's 2009 Lisbon congress and in HSWMA's 2009 Athens Conference the more or less same presentation created a huge effect between the audience and a plethora of congratulations.
Please allow me to thanks all people encouraging me to write a paper with the same title - I am already working on this.
In the meantime, my presentation is available at:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/22205324/The-Future-of-SWM
The main topics are:
Historic waste
Increasing Quantities
Changing composition of waste
Recycling and resource scarcity
Energy revolution
Robotics
All those are viewed and discussed according their waste management impacts
