Abstract

Nowadays, it is almost impossible to argue about global development without immediately stopping to think about waste; it is claimed that waste materials are correlated with the growth of the population as a consequence of consumption habits. The applied multivariable statistical analysis, both quantitative and qualitative of the BIG DATA of the OECD in the period of 1960-2050 of the World Bank from the decades of 1990-2020, and SCOPUS (1996-2020) using applied multivariate statistics. The results reveal that consumption habits are strongly influenced by access to public services more than by purchasing power, in addition, it was determined that the rate of subscriptions to cellular service is a catalyst for population indicators and ordinary waste middle tight (RO) of 0.96 m3 for person daily, study shows the trace of evolution due to the most significant advance in communication technologies, important findings for the construction of solutions within the concepts of circular economy, sustainable development, social market economy, and social responsibility.
