CURRENT SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Concerning solid waste management, BiH is legging behind developed countries. The problem of collection, treatment and final disposal of waste was not treated adequately even before the war. The destruction caused by the 1992-95 Bosnian war has only made things worse. A number of project and studies on solid waste management have been funded and supported by the Word Bank, EC, other IFIs and local authorities in an attempt to improve the situation in this domain. The legal framework was adopted by both entity governments in parallel to affore mentioned activities of project documentations preparation.

The situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) regarding solid waste management is quite complex. Collection, treatment and disposal of municipal solid waste are based on a regional and inter-entity approach. The problem of generating municipal solid waste in BiH can be solved by setting up 5-6 regional sanitary landfills, which would be sufficient for collection and disposal of a predicted quantity of solid waste. But due to the high transportation costs and a large number of transfer stations, a better solution would be establishing more regional sanitary landfills. "Solid Waste Management Strategy in BiH" project was completed in 2003 and approved by both entities. Setting up regional sanitary landfills depends on both funding and solving a rather complex problem of determination of an appropriate location for a regional sanitary landfill. This paper will give a brief overview of current activities on implementing a legal framework in BiH in the field of waste management; of the way the Strategy has been implemented so far; and of results in setting up landfills in BiH.

MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT IN CHENNAI CITY, INDIA
© IWWG International Waste Working Group (10/2007)
Municipal Solid Waste includes commercial and residential wastes generated in municipal or notified areas, in either solid or semi-solid form excluding industrial hazardous wastes, but including treated bio-medical wastes (MoEF, 2000). The quality and quantity of MSW generated by a particular community will vary according to their socio-economic status, cultural habits, urban structure, population and commercial activities. Asian countries are facing MSWM problems due to the rapid growth in MSW generation rate. The total quantity of waste generated by 23 metro cities in India was 30,000 tpd in 1999, which has increased considerably to about 52,000 tpd (Inance et al, 2004).

Ressource Abfall – mehr Wert für den Bürger
© Witzenhausen-Institut für Abfall, Umwelt und Energie GmbH (4/2012)
Gesetzliche Grundlagen für die Kreislauf- und Wertstoffwirtschaft Derzeit wird das Kreislaufwirtschafts- und Abfallgesetz aufgrund europäischer Vorgaben zu einem Kreislaufwirtschaftsgesetz novelliert. Der Schutz von Klima und Ressourcen wird hierbei insbesondere aufgrund der 5-stufigen Abfallhierarchie (1. Vermeidung, 2. Vorbereitung zur Wiederverwendung, 3. Recycling (stoffliche Verwertung von Abfällen), 4. sonstige Verwertung (z. B. energetisch), 5. Beseitigung) in den Mittelpunkt gestellt.

Die Zulässigkeit der kommunalen Wertstofftonne nach dem Abfallrecht
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (7/2010)
Gegenwärtig stellen mehrere öffentlich-rechtliche Entsorgungsträger Überlegungen an, in ihrem Einzugsgebiet eine kommunale Wertstofftonne einzuführen, in der neben stoffgleichen Nicht-Verpackungsabfällen und sonstigen Wertstoffen auch Verpackungsabfälle erfasst werden können. Ob und inwieweit ein solches Vorhaben rechtlich zulässig ist, wird im Folgenden unter abfallrechtlichen, insbesondere verpackungsrechtlichen Gesichtspunkten beleuchtet.

HAZARDOUS INDUSTRIAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT IN RAMALLAH CITY, WEST BANK: CURRENT STATUS AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK
© IWWG International Waste Working Group (10/2007)
In several developing countries, the poor management of hazardous waste is related to insufficient regulations, inability to enforce them, or weak institutional structure (Tarras- Wahlberga, 2007; Santhakumar, 2003). Weak, soft or uneven enforcement of environmental law discourage industries from reducing pollution (Vermeer, 1998; El-Zayat, Ibraheem et al., 2006). Environmental laws differ among various countries. Generally speaking, developing countries have less stringent laws than those in developed countries (Kamau, 2005).
