Abstract

This paper presents the results of research concerning waste management system as one of the strategic goals of sustainable development. Waste can be both a resource and an environmental problem. Our strategic goal is to make waste a resource. Nowadays we have global trend to reduce, re-use, rework, recycle, recover, so-called 'waste' products. One company's waste or even one person's waste can now become another company's (person's) valuable raw material. And it has an economic impact. Also, with changing technologies, availability and cost of origin input materials, the demand for, or need to use recovered wastes is changing too. In order to promote sustainability with regard to waste management, appropriate waste solutions must be put in place. However, perspective on the area of waste is required to attain sustainable waste management. Various measures that reduce the volumes of waste streams according to the hierarchy for different methods of treatment are required. Recycled raw materials saves energy compared with the use of new raw material. Each opportunity we have to reduce our impacts on the planet is a step forward towards the implementation of sustainable development. And we can defy improving waste management as one of the main goals for sustainable development.
