The authorities and consumers have a responsibility to prevent and manage waste. The same goes for companies and economic actors. In fact, they have a very significant responsibility in this area: not only to adhere to the obligations of extended producer responsibility, targeting waste streams that are particularly problematic in terms of their quantity and their impact on the environment, but also to consider how they could reuse or recycle materials (such as packaging or WEEE), by meeting their obligations in terms of good management and sorting, and by reexamining and changing their model.

Waste prevention must become a key principle for economic actors: they must preserve resources by transforming the linear model into a circular model.
