The purpose of this project was to define the measures and actions to be adopted in order to achieve the actions and targets that will be established in accordance with regional, national and European waste management strategies and taking into account the competencies of Água e Resíduos da Madeira (ARM), as the low-level management entity for the five municipalities that have joined, and the high-level management entity for the eleven municipalities in the Autonomous Region of Madeira.
The vision, objectives and targets proposed by the plan reflect the Region’s ambition to contribute to a municipal waste management system with high environmental performance and cost-efficiency, where the various stakeholders are aware and conscious of the correct management of the waste they produce. This vision is embodied in three objectives, namely: raising awareness, recovering and recovering materials and optimizing and making the system more efficient, and in three targets associated with the Madeira Waste Strategy itself.
