Waste management in compliance with national rules and European directives poses many challenges for companies in the industry, which are responsible in particular for caring for the environment.
Waste management is based on three major principles: the waste generation prevention – a factor considered to be extremely important in any waste management strategy, directly related both to the production methods improvement and to the determination of consumers to change their demand product (orientation towards green products); recycling and reuse – if waste is generated, encouraging a high level of component materials recovery, preferably through material recycling. Reference can also be made to improve the final disposal of waste and monitor this process because if the waste cannot be recovered, it must be disposed of in safe conditions for the environment and human health, with a strict monitoring program.
