Abstract
This National Waste Management Plan 2013-2020 primarily focuses on the management of waste, outlining the responsibilities of various institutions involved in waste management. Its objectives include preventing waste generation, reducing the volume and hazardous nature of waste, promoting waste reuse, recycling, and ensuring ecofriendly waste disposal. The legal context is framed by national regulations and directives that govern public procurement and waste management, emphasizing compliance with environmental protection standards.
The document specifies several key measures aimed at improving waste management practices. These include the establishment of a waste management system that prioritizes waste prevention, reduction, and recycling. It outlines the responsibilities of municipalities in organizing waste management within their administrative territories, including issuing regulations, overseeing waste collection, and entering contracts with waste management companies. Additionally, it highlights the need for compliance with administrative acts related to waste management and the approval of tariffs for waste disposal in landfills.
The implementation plan involves a structured approach where municipalities are tasked with organizing waste management according to state and regional plans. The document indicates that a review of the plan is scheduled for 2017, allowing for adjustments based on emerging needs. It also addresses procedural considerations, such as the necessity for municipalities to conduct economic analyses before decision-making and to engage in clear communication with residents regarding waste management decisions. Stakeholder involvement is emphasized, particularly in the context of public procurement and partnerships in waste management.
