ABSTRACT
Within the environmental policy framework, one could distinguish two categories, both of which aim at the protection
of the environment. The first category is based on the concept of reducing the use
of non-renewable resources and energy, as well as on the replacement of “poisonous
elements” and “hazardous” types of energy. This second category includes different
kind of actions which tackle the issue of unwanted by-products of production and
consumption. More specifically, it includes measures that aim at: conversion of
leftover substances or materials (e.g. elimination of poisonous gas), utilization
of leftover substances or materials, waste avoidance, reduction of waste production,
waste “dispersion” which includes “decentralization” (disposal) and “centralization”
(collection). “Decentralization” describes the process of controlled diffusion (emission)
of waste in water, air and soil. “Centralization” involves waste collection into
designated storage premises, which of course need to comply with certain requirements
and regulations.
