Waste prevention in regional waste management plans
Waste management planning is a means to ensure that waste management registers itself and contributes to the sustainable development of one national, regional or local territory. This is also an obligation of European law – which in addition requests to include waste prevention measures in every waste management plan. By the way, it may seem difficult to plan the creation and implementation of waste collection and treatment infrastructures if waste volumes and their origins – as well as the possibilities to avoid or reduce them have not been identified beforehand.
