  • Examination of interdisciplinary aspects of various waste management strategies.

    • Main Results:

    • An advisory committee proved to be a powerful tool for environmental decision-making, particularly in small municipalities.
    • The committee successfully examined management strategies and formulated recommendations.
    • Collaboration in communicating information to the general population was a key function.

    Conclusions:

    • Public consultation, facilitated through diverse advisory committees, can significantly enhance environmental decision-making processes.
