"The concern of many local communities in relation to waste management is growing. The growing number of petitions bears witness to this. Waste management is becoming a major political and social problem. Failure to manage such issues, and failure to prioritise efforts in this respect, produces not only negative effects on human health and well-being, but also on the viability of the planet and its environment.
Many EU countries are far behind in their implementation of waste strategies and, in this context, the legacy of the past, and an excessive dependence on landfill options, linked to the need to change attitudes towards waste disposal, has caused serious breaches of EU legislation to occur.
All measures must be taken in order to prevent the generation of waste and to ensure preparation for re-use, recycling, other recovery, including energy recovery, and disposal by means of safe incineration, with landfill as the very last resort."@en1
