Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the third EEA report in a series of annual reviews of waste prevention programmes in Europe. The review is stipulated in the European Union (EU) Waste Framework Directive (EU, 2008). This year′s review covers 30 out of the 36 national and regional waste prevention programmes that had been adopted by the end of 2015. In comparison with the previous reports, this edition reflects on the progress towards the implementation of prevention of a selected waste type: hazardous waste. Over the last 10 years or so, the better regulation of the identification, handling and management of hazardous waste has been one of the priorities of environmental policies in Europe and worldwide. Hazardous waste is a large, complex area of work, in particular for industrial processes in which economic factors represent an important incentive for both prevention and recycling. Distinguishing between these two areas is not always straightforward. There are two recurrent subjects that might have implications for this analysis: the ongoing changes in the classification of waste, and separate discussions about hazardous (ecotoxic) property. Changes in the classification of hazardous waste are expected to affect waste generation and management statistics. Hence, they have implications for establishing the baseline necessary for the quantitative monitoring and evaluation of prevention measures. For that reason, this analysis focuses mainly on qualitative aspects. Although the report looks at the generation figures at European and country levels, the statistics are used to determine the latest trends, rather than to provide an accurate account of the success of prevention.

Book excerpt: This publication is part of a series of annual reviews by the European Environment Agency (EEA) of national waste prevention programmes in Europe. The review process covers programmes in the 28 European Union (EU) Member States and three European Free Trade Association (EFTA) Member States, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. This third review, which covers the 30 national and regional programmes that had been adopted by the end of 2015, focuses on the prevention of hazardous waste. The Waste Framework Directive (EU, 1975, revised 2008) set a legal obligation for EU Member States to adopt waste prevention programmes by 12 December 2013. The EEA has been invited to review progress towards the ′completion and implementation of the programmes′ annually (EU, 2008). The Directive, including its article related to waste prevention, is currently under revision and discussion. Since the early 1970s, several multilateral environmental agreements have emerged that aim to improve the prevention and management of chemicals and hazardous waste, including its shipment. Almost in parallel, the then European Economic Community (EEC) took the first steps to introduce environmental policy and legislation, starting with waste in 1975, and specifically dangerous waste 3 years later. Prevention and recycling were mentioned, but ′only as an aspiration′ (Haigh, 2016), and without considering waste movements, let alone transboundary ones.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This review addresses the EU's actions for tackling hazardous waste. Hazardous waste can harm human health and the environment. EU initiatives have focused on its prevention, but hazardous waste has continued to increase since 2004. Its safe treatment is hampered by difficulties, e.g. reliably tracing hazardous waste. Still over 50 % of the EU's hazardous waste is disposed of. Recycling is constrained by technical difficulties and the lack of market opportunities for the recycled output. Moreover, illegal trafficking remains a lucrative business. Future challenges lie in dealing with the increasing amount of hazardous waste, improving its classification, ensuring traceability from generation to final treatment, limiting its disposal through more recycling, and addressing its illegal trafficking ;UE.
Download or read book Technologies for Environmental Cleanup Toxic and Hazardous Waste Management written by A. Avogadro and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is generally acknowledged today that the most effective strategy for toxic and hazardous waste management is: reduction, reuse and recycle. However, to date most of the activity has been in treatment technologies. This book focuses on recent technological issues commercially available or in various stages of implementation. Developments in the U.S. and Europe in the area of waste management policy and regulation are also examined since management and remediation have usually been conducted in response to regulatory requirements. This book serves as a state of the art resource on technologies and methodologies for the environmental protection manager involved in decisions concerning the management of toxic and hazardous waste.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major contribution to the environmental policy debate, this is the first book to examine the legal, technical, and planning initiatives employed in Europe to avoid land disposal of toxic waste. Although largely ignored in the U.S. until now, safer alternatives to land disposal exist in Europe. By studying and implementing the best of these methods, the authors argue, the United States can begin to resolve its own toxic waste problem, a problem that has reached crisis proportions.
