Assigned research project
Waste prevention is one out of three basic principles in the Austrian waste management law in order to achieve the goals of waste management, which can be summarized as ¿resource conservation¿ and ¿environmental protection¿. In Austria there are several initiatives to foster waste prevention in different areas of the economy. To do this in an efficient way it is necessary to quantify the effect of a waste prevention measure with regard to its goal orientation. As there are no such methods available, it is the aim of this project to develop a method for evaluating waste prevention measures on the level of enterprises. The results obtained by this evaluation tool shall the form the basis for a benchmarking system.
