Abstract
The unprecedented quantities of waste produced today have critical environmental implications, from resource inefficiency
and climate change to social injustice and local human health effects. In addition, the generation of waste
has been one of the most prevalent byproducts of human activity in history. The old approaches of waste management
as eg. burying or dumping the waste, however, are no longer acceptable: environmentally, economically, or socially.
Moreover, the predicted levels of increase in population, production, and consumption in this century will
raise the quantity and complexity of waste materials. If global problems such as climate change and waste remain
unresolved, societies will be forced to continue attempting to incrementally reduce waste and lessen environmental
impacts. Logically, there is a need for sustainable waste management, sustainable communal waste management in
particular, whose goal is to eliminate waste wherever possible by encouraging a systems approach that avoids the
creation of waste in the first place. Furthemore, it should be noted that waste represents potential raw materials and
is being increasingly rerouted from admittedly orderly, environmentally-friendly dumps to waste recycling industry
using technology which produces useful raw materials, compost or fuel. In this process of waste transformation,
everyone has to take part separating waste during collection. In order to achieve their objectives of sustainable communal
waste management, the European Union countries that have so far done most in this field, have applied innovative
waste collection systems based upon identification technologies which encourage users to separate waste at
the source of its creation. This paper presents a real examle of Communal Waste Management in Slovenia. | Apstrakt
Današnja kolicina otpada koji se proizvodi je bez presedana i ima kriticne posledice po životnu sredinu, od neefikasnog korišcenja resursa i klimatskih promena do socijalne nepravde i uticaja na zdravlje lokalnog stanovništva. Istorijski gledano, generisanje otpada je bilo jedno od preovladujucih nusprodukata ljudskih ak-tivnosti,a i danas se taj trend nastavlja. Stari nacini menadžmenta otpadom kao npr. zakopavanje ili odstranjivanje na deponije, više nisu prihvatljiv ni ekološki ni ekonomski ni društveno. Takode, predvideni nivo porasta populacije, proizvodnje i potrošnje u ovom veku dovešce do porasta kolicine i kompleksnosti otpadnih materijala. Ukoliko globalni problemi, kao što su klimatske promene i otpad ostanu nerešeni, društva ce morati da nastave svoj razvoj u pokušaju postepenog smanjenja otpada i manjeg uticaja na životnu sredinu. Logicno, javlja se potreba za održivim menad'mentom otpadom, posebno održivim menad'mentom komunalnim otpadom, putem koga bi trebalo da se eliminiše otpad podsticanjem sistemskog pristupa, koji na prvom mestu izbegava stvaranje otpada. Takode, treba znati da otpad predstavlja potencijalnu sirovinu i da je sve više preusmeren sa uredenih ekološki podobnih deponija na industriju recikla'e otpada koristeci tehnologiju koja proizvodi korisne sirovine, kompost ili gorivo. U cilju dostizanja odr'ivog upravljanja komunalnim otpadom, zemlje Evropske unije koje su najviše uradile na ovom polju, primenile su inovativne sisteme prikupljanja otpada zasnovane na identifika-cionim tehnologijama, koje ohrabruju korisnike da odvajaju otpad na izvoru njegovog nastanka. Zato je u ovom radu dat realan prikaz menadžmenta komunalnim otpadom u Sloveniji. |
