Sažetak
Under the new Croatian “ Waste Management Act” of December 2004, the Plan for Waste Management (May – June 2005) and the Regulation on the types, categories and classification of waste, including the waste catalogue listing hazardous waste (April 2005), all the processes for the collecting, land-filling, recycling, using and reusing of waste, including wood waste and recovered wood, are specified and defined. During 2005 about 90% of worn-out, old and used poles were planned to be “ reused” or ‘ ’ recycled” . Legal and natural persons responsible for the management of hazardous waste will exclusively collect these poles. Of this amount, more than 60% of poles are intended for “ reuse” . About 30% of poles will be used for energy generation wood chips, etc. The use of the remaining 10% has not been specified – that 10% is sometimes sold for “ peanuts” to local people. During the year 2003 and 2004 the amount of disposed old and used beech wood sleepers was negligible. In 2003 17, 2 % of worn-out and replaced sleepers was disposed and in 2004 only 5, 2 %. Relating to the new Waste Management Act, in 2005 about 96 % of replaced old sleepers was planned for management, specifically: reuse, recycling or any other type of wood recovery. Out of that amount, probably about 60 % will be recycled, and 30% will be collected and recycled by local authorities as an energy source. The rest of the worn-out sleepers will be left to rot and there is no evidence about that amount.
