As of: 26.10.2009"Best Practice Municipal Waste Management" -
now available online and on CD-ROM

Quadrilingual CD-ROM provides information on municipal waste management for interested parties in Germany and abroad

The information pool offered provides a comprehensive overview on successfully applied municipal waste management strategies and techniques in Germany and information on the possibilities of a wider application. It comprises information on the legal framework of the European Union as well as principles and processes in municipal waste management. Interested circles at home and abroad are thereby granted detailed insights as to the relevant technical parameters and a survey of German providers and operators of the respective technologies themselves.

All information provided can be read in English, French, Russian and German language. Both the information pool and single information sheets are available for download on the German Federal Environmental Agency's website. Additionally, the information pool can be ordered on CD-ROM via the same website.
