Potential for learning or transfer
The development of waste management information systems is important for waste prevention. This experience is valuable for other municipalities. Waste prevention is the most efficient way to improve resource efficiency and reduce the environmental impact of waste by setting up and supporting re-use and repair networks and repurchase and refill schemes, and by encouraging re-production, renewal and, where appropriate, re-use of products through information sharing platforms.
Spreading the platform opportunities leads to positive green side effects - waste will be prevented and reused and they will not go to incineration, landfill or be dumped in the landscape.
CEMIS contributes directly to reducing waste generation and disposal through increase of the second use, recovery and recycling of residual and/or waste materials one hand, and on the other - to introducing the resource efficiency and environmentally sound management.
