Waste Management<br />

?<br />

Why does recycling matter?<br />

Waste is a big problem.<br />

Too much waste is still being sent to landfill sites or being incinerated, when the best solution to reduce our environmental impact is to recycle<br />

and compost as much of our waste as possible.<br />

The EU has set strict objectives :<br />

By 2015:<br />

■■ Landfill will be banned for at least paper, glass, textiles, plastic and metal.<br />

■■ Separate waste collection systems for these categories must be set up.<br />
