Main
available solutions to stabilise or reduce waste
Many solutions exist to stabilise or
to reduce waste, theoretically and practically.
They can be:
- Product development based on life cycle
analysis
- Design for disassembly in order to facilitate
sorting of materials to be recycled
- Environmental management systems (during the
production process)
- Re-use of products and packaging or
minimisation of waste (source reduction)
- Improvement of product quality for an
increased life time (disposed of later)
- Improvement of services for repair
- Increased re-use of components easily sorted
and disassembled from discarded products
- Awareness of changing consuming patterns
