The general objective of the project “Integrated Solid Waste Management System in Vaslui County” is to develop a sustainable waste management system that reduces the environmental impact in Vaslui County, by improving the waste management service and reducing the number of existing non-compliant landfills, in accordance with the practices and policies of the European Union. Also, the objective of this project is to implement practices that will bring the county in line with the legislation and will eliminate/reduce the contamination and inconveniences suffered by the Vaslui county population. The project will also contribute substantially to the achievement of one of the main objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy, on the basis of which the Large Infrastructure Operational Programme was also promoted, namely the objective of sustainable growth – promoting a more efficient, greener and more competitive economy. This objective is achieved through the investments within the project that contribute to reducing the risk of environmental degradation by closing 3 non-compliant landfills (Bîrlad, Negresti and Huşi) and the unsustainable use of resources (development of 4 new transfer stations in Vaslui, Bîrlad, Negreşti and Huşi; all these activities contribute to the recovery and recycling of waste and the protection of natural resources. The aim of this project is to comply with the requirements of the European directives in the waste sector and to continue, with a view to completing the investments initiated by SOP ENV 2007-2013. The project complies with the provisions of the strategic framework for LIOP 2014-2020 – Axis 3 (“Development of environmental infrastructure under resource efficiency conditions”), OS 3.1 (“Reducing the number of non-compliant landfills and increasing the readiness for recycling of waste in Romania”). It promotes the integrated waste management system at Vaslui County level, which is fully in line with EU policies in the field as well as with documents agreed at national and local level. It can therefore be concluded that the project “Integrated Waste Management System in Vaslui County”, proposed for financing from SOP Environment 2007-2013 and which will be completed within the framework of the Large Infrastructure Operational Programme 2014-2020, will contribute to the fulfilment of all the commitments undertaken by Romania through the Accession Treaty, as well as those established by the strategic documents at national level (POIM 2014-2020, the National Waste Management Strategy for the 2014-2020 time horizon, approved in 2013, the National Waste Management Plan, currently being updated, etc.), regional (PRGD Region 1 North-East) and local.
