Sažetak
The paper addresses issues relating to the obligations of waste producers and waste owners in the Republic of Croatia set out in the Waste Management Strategy, in the provisions of the Waste Act and in the Waste Management Regulations.
Furthermore, proceeding in awareness of the legislation regulating waste management, the paper also deals with the methods of waste disposal and the obligation on the part of industrial subjects and legal entities to keep records of waste disposal and submit these records to the relevant authorities of the Republic of Croatia on demand.
Waste management is a burning issue in environment protection demanding priority and one of the most complex legislations in need of harmonisation with the legislation of the European Union. Answers to this problem and building an all-encompassing waste management system require knowledge of the waste flow from the producer/owner to the final waste dealer.
Aiming to bring about improvements in waste management, the Ministry of Environment Protection and Nature has drafted a text of the new Waste Act containing the final draft which defines the measures for the prevention of harmful effects of waste on human health and environment including reduction of waste quantities at source. In addition, the Act provides instructions on waste management without the use of substances posing risk to the environment, lists valuable properties of reusable waste and suggests how to increase efficiency in resources management.
