What is waste in the 21st-century economic system? This essay illustrates one of the limitations of the contemporary economic model, which, despite having produced undeniable successes, has also generated economic, social, and environmental 'waste'. The resulting 'culture of waste', denounced by Pope Francis, causes multiple harms, generating exclusion and marginalization, and environmental backlash. The essay examines some virtuous experiences that originated within "The Economy of Francesco", aimed at countering the culture of waste at all levels, in a perspective of true economic, political and social inclusion.
Che cosa rappresenta lo scarto nel sistema economico del XXI secolo? Questo breve saggio illustra uno dei limiti del modello di sviluppo economico contemporaneo, che pur avendo prodotto innegabili successi, ha anche generati “scarti”, in termini economici, sociali e ambientali. La derivante “cultura dello scarto”, denunciata da Papa Francesco, arreca danno in molteplici direzioni, generando esclusione e marginalizzazione, oltre che ricadute negative in termini ambientali. A partire da queste considerazioni, il saggio esamina alcune esperienze virtuose maturate nell’ambito di “The Economy of Francesco”, volte a contrastare la cultura dello scarto a tutti i livelli, in una prospettiva di reale inclusione economica, politica e sociale.

Abstract
What is waste in the 21st-century economic system? This essay illustrates one of the limitations of the contemporary economic model, which, despite having produced undeniable successes, has also generated economic, social, and environmental 'waste'. The resulting 'culture of waste', denounced by Pope Francis, causes multiple harms, generating exclusion and marginalization, and environmental backlash. The essay examines some virtuous experiences that originated within "The Economy of Francesco", aimed at countering the culture of waste at all levels, in a perspective of true economic, political and social inclusion.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
