Waste Management Planning
Waste management planning is the cornerstone of
any national, regional or local policy on waste management. Indeed,
the establishment of a plan allows, taking stock of the existing
situation, to define the objectives that need to be met in the future,
to formulate appropriate strategies and identify the necessary implementation
means.
The drawing up of waste management plans is required by EU legislation
on waste. The Directive
2006/12/EC on waste sets out the general requirement in Article
7, while specific provisions are laid down with regard to Hazardous
waste in Article 6 of Directive 91/689/EEC and Packaging and Packaging Waste in Article 6 of Directive 94/62/EC .
Guidance on waste management plans
With an aim to assist national, regional and local competent authorities
when preparing waste management plans, the Commission has published
a methodological guidance note. The guidance is of non-binding nature
and should promote more coherent and appropriate planning practices
in the Member States and Accession Countries, in compliance with
the requirements of relevant EU legislation. The document is available
in the following languages
