Waste management within the context of waste management national strategy (WMNS) and regional waste management plan (RWMP) from Centru Region

Abstract

This paper approaches an issue of current interest, namely the appropriate waste management. The instruments through which the European Union policy in the field of waste management is implemented in Romania are the Waste Management National Strategy (WMNS) and the National Waste Management Plan (NWMP). At the regional level, the Regional Waste Management Plans have been drawn up by each Environment Protection Regional Agency in close cooperation with the representatives of local environmental authorities and of local and county public administration authorities. From our perspective, waste management represents an issue that should concern not only the authorities but also each individual Romanian citizen.
