Abstract
The goals of waste management are twofold: Firstly the protection of human beings and the environment, and secondly the conservation of resources with a growing importance (contributions of Schebek et al. in Part IV and Zepf et al. in Part VI). Under the principles of sustainability, these goals should be reached in a way that does not impair the well-being of future generations. Thus, waste management practice should not export waste related problems in space and in time, requiring e.g. after care free landfills.
