CHAPTER I V: Waste Management Introduction
CHAPTER IV: Waste Management CHAPTER IV: Waste Management Introduction Waste Management is a challenging issue from an environmental, political, legal and social point of view. G rowth of large urban areas, tourist flow, rise of living standards and change of consuming patterns, have led to an increase of the produced volumes of municipal Waste with a simultaneous change of its composition. At the same time, there is a growing concern on the site allocation for Waste Management installations. Furthermore, until recently, big quan tities of useful materials ( paper, glass, aluminium, plastic, metal and wood) have not been, in some cases, exploited to their full potential, through recovery and recycling.
Municipal waste generation per capita has an annual increase rate of 1.1 % since 2003, whereas GDP increased over the period 2003-2007 with an annual rate of 4.3 %.
