WASTE MANAGEMENT IN ZADAR COUNTY

U radu se prikazuju ključne strategije za smanjenje ukupne količine otpada te za njegovo učinkovitije zbrinjavanje. Smanjenje proizvodnje poticanjem ponovne uporabe i kompostiranjem je važan korak u suvremenom gospodarenju otpadom, a reciklaža ili ponovna oporaba osigurava višestruko smanjenje količine otpada na odlagalištima. Odlagališta otpada je ujedno važno adekvatno sanirati kako bi se smanjio negativan utjecaj na okoliš na mikrolokaciji. U radu je obrađen i praktičan primjer gospodarenja otpadom na području Zadarske županije s naglaskom na projekte kojima se gospodarenje otpadom planira unaprijediti u skladu s načelima održivog razvoja.The paper presents key strategies for reducing the total amount of waste and for its more efficient disposal. Reducing production by encouraging reuse and composting is an important step in modern waste management, as is the recycling that ensures a multiple reduction in the amount of waste in landfills. It is also important to adequately rehabilitate landfills in order to reduce the negative impact on the environment at the micro-location. The paper also deals with a practical example of waste management in the Zadar County with an emphasis on projects that plan to improve waste management in accordance with the principles of sustainable development
