Annex 4 to the art. 50, para. 3, item 2

EXAMPLES OF MEASURES FOR WASTE PREVENTION

Measures that can affect the framework conditions related to the generation of waste:

1. the use of planning measures, or other economic instruments to encourage the efficient use of resources.

2. the promotion of research and development in the field of the cleaner and with less waste products and technologies and the dissemination and use of the results of such research and development.

3. the development of effective and meaningful indicators of the environmental pressures associated with the generation of waste, which aims to help prevent the generation of waste at all levels, from product comparisons at Community level and the actions of local authorities to national measures.

Measures that can affect the design and production and distribution:

4. The promotion of eco-design (the systematic integration of environmental aspects in the development of products with the aim of improving the "ecological behavior" of the product throughout its whole life cycle).

5. Providing information on the techniques to prevent the generation of waste in order to facilitate the application of best available techniques by industry.

6. organise training of competent authorities as regards the inclusion of requirements for preventing the generation of waste in the permissions under art. 35, para. 1.

7. the Inclusion of measures to prevent waste production at installations not falling within the scope of annex 4 by the EPA. Where appropriate, these measures may include assessments or plans for preventing the generation of waste.

8. The use of awareness campaigns or the provision of financial support for business decision making or other support. Probably these measures are particularly effective when you are targeted and tailored for small and medium-sized enterprises and are carried out through established business networks.

9. use of voluntary agreements, expert groups of customers/producers or sectoral negotiations in order that the relevant businesses or industrial sectors to draw up their own plans or targets for waste prevention, or to make corrections to your products or packages to be receiving a large amount of waste.

10. The promotion of creditable environmental management systems, including EMAS and ISO 14001.

Measures that can affect the consumption and usage:

11. the use of economic instruments such as incentives for clean purchases or the introduction of obligatory payment by consumers for a given product or element of packaging that would otherwise be provided free of charge.

12. The use of awareness campaigns and information provision directed at the general public as a whole or to specific groups of users.

13. The promotion of creditable eco-labels.

14. Agreements with manufacturers, such as the work of expert groups for the products concerned, in the framework of integrated product policies or with retailers on the availability of information related to waste prevention and to products with less negative impact on the environment.

15. In the context of public and corporate procurement – criteria for the inclusion of environmental protection and waste prevention, calls for tenders and contracts, in accordance with the Handbook on environmental public procurement published by the Commission on 29 October 2004.

16. the promotion of the reuse and/or repair of appropriate discarded products or of their components through the use of educational, economic, logistic or other measures such as the creation or support of accredited centres and networks for repair and reuse especially in densely populated areas.
