Waste Management

The waste policy is based on objectives and strategies to ensure the preservation of natural resources and negative impatcs on public healths and environment.

To achieve these objectives the production of waste and reuse and recycling by rows should be encouraged to reduce.

To alarge extent, this is to promote the identification, development and adoption of cleaner technologies and products and recyclable materials.

Given their role in waste management is importante to promote awareness and dissimination in the field of waste destined for public and private entities.

Apart from prevention it still promotes and develops integrated systems for the collection, treatment, recovery and disposal of waste per row (e.g., oils, solvents, textiles, plastics and organic matter).

The development and implementation of a national plan for waste management and full compliance with the strategic plans of waste management are policy measures of spatial planning and environment advocated for the continuation of the principals of sustainability, mainstreaming, integration, equity and stake, attorneys in the government programme.
