| Abstract [eng] |
In this era of increasing environmental awareness due to uncontrolled waste, the research focuses on the role of law in ensuring sustainability in waste management. The role of law is analyzed taking consideration the source hierarchy and its targeted sectors for implementation. The thesis builds on the concept of circular economy, provisions of the European Union law and national (Lithuanian) law by highlighting different legal interpretations and implementation practice examples in other EU countries from a sustainability perspective. Research findings reveal that current waste management practices do not entirely match the implementation of principles formulated in the legal framework with recommendations outlined in the conclusions. |
