187 A weak point in current waste management is that there is still insufficient grip on the quantity of waste produced, particularly consumer waste ong>andong> to a lesser extent trade, services ong>andong> government waste, which is still increasing. The situation is being exacerbated as these are also the waste streams for which the level of recovery is lagging behind the targets. A great deal of combustible ong>andong> recoverable waste is consequently still being disposed of in long>andong>fills because, when planning incineration capacity, it had been assumed that the waste supply would be smaller ong>andong> the degree of separate collection higher. A further observation is that the degree to which waste management costs are incorporated in the product price, thus doing greater justice to the ‘polluter pays principle’, is still fairly limited. Regulations governing waste management are seen by industry to be complex ong>andong> sometimes to hamper waste recovery. This complexity of the regulations sometimes also proves to be an obstacle to effective enforcement. Market forces are still having a limited impact on the collection of household waste ong>andong> the incineration ong>andong> long>andong>filling of waste, which may be resulting in less than optimum efficiency. Besides the strong ong>andong> weak points of present waste management outlined above, there are various developments that demong>andong> attention if the objectives of waste management policy are to remain whole. (Ministry of spatial planning ong>andong> the environment., 2009) 10.3. Waste quantities According to the Netherlong>andong>s statistics agency, the latest information about the waste situation in the Netherlong>andong>s, refer to 2006 ong>andong> 2007. In 2006, total waste quantities (Table 10.) decreased by approximately 3-4 % from 2000. However, the figures shows that the situation regarding the waste management has been almost the same in the years that passed by ong>andong> that is something that the Dutch government should consider in the future. In 2007, a total of 9,303 (mln kg) of household waste was produced, a small increase of 1.47% compared to 2006 (Table 11.). There have not been any significant changes regarding the division of waste between different treatment methods over the last years. The numbers show that there are light changes each year with no significant achievements. (Netherlong>andong>s statistics., 2009)
