Background
Solid waste management is the least developed environmental field in the country. The existing system consists largely of municipal waste collection and disposal, which is not properly carried out, and the storage of hazardous wastes at industrial sites. A limited number of projects and technologies for separate collection or proper recycling and disposal exist at present. To remedy this situation, the Ministry of Environment and Physical Planning has been preparing an integrated solid waste management concept for Slovenia, to serve as a basis for regulatory instruments and specific measures.

Objectives:
The main objectives of the project are:
· to assist the Ministry in identifying optimum solutions to Slovenia’s problems of solid waste management,
· to draft regulations for solid waste control by transferring the EC experience in the field of solid waste management.
