From Wish to Action – How does Croatia Manage its Hazardous Waste?
The paper analyzes the hazardous waste management system in the Republic of Croatia with respect to the obligations arising from the EU acquis communautaire in the field of environmental protection. Besides analyzing the existing legislative regulations and strategic framework, assessments were made of the amounts of hazardous waste produced as by-products of the manufacturing and service processes. The following data relating to hazardous waste producers were analyzed: air pollution emissions, water pollution emissions, soil pollution, pollution types, emissions of polluting substances, amounts of waste in the reporting year, temporary storage at the beginning and at the end of the year, waste management at the site of production, waste delivered to the waste collecting firm, waste caretakers, and data on hazardous waste export. For hazardous and special types of waste, changes in the amount of hazardous waste, collecting, storage, processing and recovery, hazardous waste caretaking and environmental protection management were analyzed. Research results indicate three different factors underlying the functioning of hazardous waste management: effective prevention of hazardous waste production, recycling and incineration. All three factors are important for adjusting future activities to the EU guidelines for the period 2014-2020.Authors' recommendations could serve as guidelines for decision makers as well as a framework for the hazardous waste management strategy in Croatia.
