Are you looking to develop a waste management plan, or revise an existing one? Are you looking for support to develop more targeted policies for particular waste streams?
The countries, regions and municipal authorities who have made the most progress to improve the management of their waste have done so against the backdrop of a well-articulated strategy or plan for managing waste. The waste management sector relies heavily on regulation and legislation in order to prevent the improper disposal of waste, with all the attendant problems that creates.
In addition, key drivers tend to use combinations of target incentives standards and guidance that help the key stakeholder to progress towards more sustainable forms of waste and resource management.
