ABSTRACT
This section discusses the role of modern methods in mixed waste treatment (MWT) technology as part of a systematic approach of integrating this technology into an environmental management system (EMS) or a quality management system (QMS), with environmentally sustainable development (ESD) — or environmental sustainability — as a performance goal. A brief background on the two major international standards (ISO 9001:1994 and ISO 14001:1996) as templates for quality and environmental management systems is provided.
