Abstract: We assess the eco-efficiency of French inter-municipal cooperation entities in charge of waste management. We employ a conditional order-m approach to (i) estimate their eco-efficiency considering variables characterizing their environmental context, (ii) evaluate the effect of these contextual variables on the eco-efficiency. Our results demonstrate that the population size, the type of area (e.g., tourist, rural), and the waste pricing systems significantly influence eco-efficiency. These findings underscore the importance of tailoring local waste management policies to the specific characteristics and available resources of each area. They provide valuable insights for local authorities seeking to enhance eco-efficiency and optimize waste management practices.
