Almost 1,400,000 tons of household waste are generated in the Barcelona metropolitan area every year. The amount of waste generated in the domestic environment is in direct proportion to the features of the predominant cultural and economic system, which have an influence on the valuation of disposable products, and boost a series of consumption habits that imply using non-essential packaging and containers. The prosperity of the economic cycle and the still very widespread idea that resources are unlimited are also important factors here. The solution to these problems is more than just post-consumption generation of municipal waste. The PMGRM has set the target for reduction in waste generation for the year 2006 at 3.8% in relation to the waste generated in the year 1996.
