One of the most fundamental changes in the new European Union's new waste Management legislation is that the former waste legislation mainly focused on the avoidance of the negative health and environmental Impacts, while the new Directive strongly emphasises waste prevention.
Waste prevention does not focus on the end of pipe solution. Instead, the goal is to focus on the classical waste management tasks and work on fixing the root of the problem, which includes certain economic and social activities. The increased efficiency concerning the use of natural resources has become part of waste prevention and waste management.
Improving the Hungarian situation
These changes are consistently implemented and enforced in the Hungarian waste management legislation.
Transparency, controllability, accountability are all fundamental aspects of the Hungarian waste management legislation. Predictability and equal opportunities for the Hungarian market players are also closely connected to this concept.
In order to achieve the objectives mentioned above, the preparation of the new waste legislation for the whole waste management sector began in the second half of 2010. This waste legislation is based on two main pillars.

Welche Verfahren aber sind an welchem Standort richtig - automatisierte, kontinuierliche oder diskontinuierliche Batch-Verfahren?
