Magistro darbe atlikta Europos Sąjungos ir Lietuvos juridinių aktų, reglamentuojančių atliekų tvarkymą, analizė. Išanalizuoti regioninių atliekų tvarkymo sistemų įgyvendinimo privalumai ir trūkumai, identifikuotos problemos. Ištirta Šiaulių miesto gyventojų nuomonė apie veikiančią sistemą, apibendrinti gauti rezultatai. Iš dalies pasitvirtino suformuluota mokslinio tyrimo hipotezė. Šiaulių regioninė atliekų tvarkymo sistema nėra rezultatyvi finansiniu požiūriu, nors jos įgyvendinimas vykdomas sklandžiai. Gyventojai teigiamai vertina jiems teikiamas paslaugas, tačiau neturi motyvacijos rūšiuoti ir yra nepatenkinti principo „teršėjas moka“ įgyvendinimu. / This master‘s work is the analysis of European Union and Lithuanian legal acts on waste management reglamentation. Advantages and disadvantages of regional waste management system implementation have been analysed and problems have been identified. The opinion of Siauliai population about existing system has been analysed and the results have been summarised. The scientific research hypothesis was partially correct. Siauliai regional waste management system is not financially efficient despite it is running smoothly. Residents are positive about services provided; however they have no motivation to sort the waste and are unhappy about the principle ‘whoever is polluting is paying’.

Economy and environment has for a long time been studied separately and seen as incompatible. With a growing society and increasing pressure on environmental issues the need of a new economy with the environment included is necessary. This study examine if European Union´s picture of the waste hierarchy match the reality. Since the purpose with the waste hierarchy is to benefit environmental and economy. A survey was made over Käppalaförbundets waste from 2013, to see where the waste falls in the waste hierarchy. The results shows that the waste falls on those steps that are favorable to the environment and the economy, but the environment aspect can be improved if some of the waste switch to a different step in the waste hierarchy. Better statistics on some waste areas is also necessary to get a result that is more certain. The conclusion in this study is that European Union´s picture of the waste hierarchy match the reality to a certain extent but in order to achieve sustainable development in the long run, several measures need to be taken.

This thesis evaluates the waste management system in the province of Manitoba, Canada and other jurisdictions to identify best practices for, and barriers and opportunities to, improving its impact on the environment. Multiple methods were used. First, a survey of expert stakeholders in the waste management sector in Manitoba was conducted, which was followed by an expert stakeholder meeting that further refined the results of the survey. Second, waste management systems of Manitoba, Canada, Nova Scotia, Canada, New South Wales, Australia, and Denmark were compared to determine which of the options already in use by other jurisdictions might be useful in Manitoba. Finally, an estimation of the amount of organic waste entering landfills in Manitoba was conducted, along with an estimation of the resulting methane emissions from landfills to determine their greenhouse gas emissions.
