• Law 9/2008, on waste management• Selective waste collection• Material recovery more important than proximity
• Directive 2008/98/CE, on waste• Waste hierarchy: prevention, preparing for re-use, recycling,
other recovery (i.e. energy recovery), disposal• 50% objective for recycling and recovery in 2020• Follow-up indicators
