2. Policies, strategies and legislation<br />

The Republic of Slovenia as a member of European Union implements EU policy through its<br />

national legislation. The main law governing environmental protection and thus construction<br />

waste management is:<br />

The Environment Protection Act, OJ RS 41/2004<br />

Amendments: OJ RS 20/2006, OJ RS 70/2008, OJ RS 108/2009<br />

Original title: Zakon o varstvu okolja<br />

The act lays the basis for the national strategy on environment protection stated including:<br />

Resolution on national environment protection programme, OJ RS 2/2006<br />

Original title: Resolucija o nacionalnem programu varstva okolja 2005 – 2012<br />

The Resolution points out the need to reduce consumption and exploitation of natural<br />

resources. In relation to construction waste it sets the following goals:<br />

• source separation and collection of waste materials (at least 30%),<br />

• recycling and use of recycled materials (at least 40%),<br />

• incineration of timber and energy recovery,<br />

• reuse of about 30% of excavated soil,<br />

• use of the construction waste and excavated soil that remains after processing, in<br />

quantities of 20% and 50% respectively,<br />

• disposal of no more than 10% of construction waste and no more than 20% of excavated<br />

soil in non-hazardous waste landfill,<br />

• reduce the excavation of mineral raw materials for construction purposes from about 8 t<br />

per capita to about 5.5 t per capita,<br />
