LDK has been following the developments in solid waste management since the establishment of its Environment department. Waste management priorities have been raised from safe disposal to maximization of reuse or recycling and even further to waste prevention or reduction at source. A quite complex legislative framework has been developed seeking for waste – specific recycling and recovery targets to be met. To this effect, Waste Management Schemes are organised for specific waste streams, while means of treatment and safe disposal of waste remains the bottom line in solid waste management services.
