BPEO application in waste management planning

BPEO is a key principle in pursuing greater sustainability in waste management. In the context of waste management planning, the "options" considered are specific combinations of methods for the collection, transport, treatment and disposal of waste, including recycling and recovery. As indicated above, the 3 District Council groups have prepared WMPs for sub regions that together cover all of Northern Ireland. Each WMP is seeking to establish the BPEO for waste streams situated in. brought into or taken for treatment or disposal out of their sub-region, i.e. the preferred combination of the various methods that can be used to collect, treat and process waste.
