Defining waste

Unwanted for the

person who discards it

Product or material

that has no further

value for the owner oruser

Waste management

is something about

public works,equipment and

The 4 principles of ISWM

Efficiency: maximizingbenefits, minimizingcosts, optimizing use of

resources

Sustainability:capable to maintain

Equity: safeenvironment and

health as a global

right for all citizens

Effectiveness: the

Waste Hierarchy / Real Evolution

Conclusion 1

No global solution forwaste management

Waste treatment solutions

should be tailored to the needsof countries and not

of waste industry


14/54

Treatment targetsReduction of environmental impacts of

waste generation

Recovery of material and energy

Increase of lifetime and reduction ofimpacts from landfills

Conclusions Planning is a way of thinking as a part of

a network

Planning = motivator + communicationcenter

Sustainable planning needs an integratedapproach to all ISWM issues

Sustainable results are the results thatare well established between all the
