Environment: Municipal waste
Waste management has potential impacts on human health and ecosystems. There are also concerns about the treatment and disposal capacity of existing facilities, and on the location and social acceptance of new facilities. The economic, environmental and social impact of waste is relevant in regions also because waste disposal is usually managed at the local level. Many OECD member countries have strengthened measures for waste minimisation, recycling, product life cycle management and extended producer responsibility.
