| Abstract [eng] |
This paper deals with the development of waste management legislation and its impact on the results of waste treatment. Together with the progress that was achieved in waste management, existing problems and new tools that are needed to meet them are examined. An overview of hazardous waste management regulations in the EU and Lithuania is made. It was found that the tax on waste products encourages recycling of hazardous waste (scrap tires) thus saving money for transport companies and ensures successful operation of waste recycling companies. |
