THE IMPACT OF PLASTIC WASTES ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

ANDREA FEHER, CORNELIU TIRDEA

Abstract


The purpose of this paper is to present the importance that wastes have (particularly plastic wastes) on sustainable development. The long term objective of EU and national policies is to reduce the amount of waste generated and when waste generation is unavoidable, promote their use as a resource and achieve higher levels regarding recycling and disposal safe. Such waste management policies aim to reduce the negative impact of waste on the environment and health and to improve energy efficiency in the Member States of the European Union. The application of instruments set out in existing Community legislation, such as disseminating best available techniques or eco-design of products, are therefore  important factors for achieving this purpose.
