General Waste Policy in the Netherlands Sample Clauses

General Waste Policy in the Netherlands. The Netherlands is one of the few countries in the world that has so complete and multifaceted waste-processing infrastructure. For many years now, the country has been one of the leaders in Europe with regards to waste practices modernization. The most popular environmental measure in the Netherlands is waste separation. More than 90% of the people separate their household waste, which makes this practice the most popular and widely used measure. Due to the well developed waste management structure, no less than 64% of the municipal waste has been recycled in the Netherlands. The country is practically unique in terms of recycling as much waste, and in addition most of the residual waste is incinerated to produce electricity, resulting in only small percentage of waste being disposed off at landfills. The unique approach that has been developed through the years consists in avoiding to produce waste as much as possible, trying to recover all valuable raw materials from any waste that is created, trying to produce energy by burning the residual waste, and only after all of the above mentioned practices have been applied disposing what has left over in an environmentally friendly way. In cases when waste cannot be prevented, as much as possible of it should be recycled. However, non-recyclable waste should be taken care of in a way, such that the risks it may create to the environment are acceptable. Those waste practices are the cornerstones of the Dutch waste policy. This approach has been integrated into the country's legislation in 1994 and is known as "Xxxxxxx'x Ladder". It has been recently included in the European Waste Framework Directive. Figure 1. Processing of urban waste in Europe and the trends in recent years, 2006
