Abstract
After introducing criteria of insurability and other tools for an insurability analysis of risks in general, endogenous and exogenous components of hazardous waste risks that impede insurability are examined. The analysis pinpoints properties of hazardous waste risks and of the social and legal environment that have driven these risks out of the domain of subjective insurability for many professional risk carriers. By doing so, the analysis not only uncovers what has been done wrongly but also shows how improvements could have been made and how they should be made in the future in order to make lost insurance capacity available again for at least part of the hazardous waste risks.
