The fundamental principles of waste management are as follows: ´ our responsibility for ensuring the protection of environmental components (air, groundwater, soil) from pollution by waste production and consumption; ´ emphasis on the reuse, recycling, regeneration, cleaning or environmentally acceptable disposal of waste; ´ reduction of negative impact on the environment by using new technologies and equipment to reduce waste generation; and ´ the prioritisation of preventive measures to eliminate the environmentally negative impacts of waste on the environment.
