Sustainable Waste Management System

Abstract

Technological advance within IT & C may and will have an increasing impact over environment protection. Currently, a major issue for society in the field of environmental protection is the sustainable management of waste. This has been debated at EU level, leading to the issue of several directives for regulating, monitoring, controlling, and mitigating the impact of pollution. After joining the EU, Romania had to make serious efforts for implementing waste management by adopting European directives or transposing them into national law. As a result, private or state-owned companies involved in selling various categories of products must pay attention to waste collecting and meeting specific recycling quotas. Unfortunately, in Romania there is no software application that offers all the facilities needed by those companies. This paper presents an open system application dedicated to waste management.
