Waste Management Strategy - Perspective of a Small Island State - Malta

The thesis looks at the current situation of waste management in Malta with particular emphasis on two documents namely "The Solid Waste Management Strategy 2009" and "The Waste Management Plan for the Maltese Islands 2014 2020" approved by The Cabinet early in 2014. The thesis has a theoretical part followed by an indepth analysis of the different major waste streams that affect a small island state like Malta. An assessment was made between both documents with special attention to implementation.
