PMGRM historical memories recompilation
|
The Metropolitan Municipal Waste Management Program (PMGRM), passed on July 17th, 1997, which has already been subjected to a first biannual review 1998-1999, includes the principles for sustainable development and participates, involving the whole social fabric, in its follow-up and implementation as well as in the promotion of new initiatives. The PMGRM has set a series of objectives for the 1997-2006 period which are based on basic criteria of reducing the amount of waste generated, reusing, recycling, valuation and finalist treatment that respects the environment. Application of the program will imply 60% of all the waste generated in the Barcelona metropolitan area being recycled. The success of this approach has been proven by its coincidence with the general criteria of subsequent regulations, such as Acts 11/97 and 10/98, regarding containers and container waste, and general waste, respectively.
