Green Competitiveness in Waste Management in Urban Society

Abstract

Waste management is a public service, the provision of which is the responsibility of local authorities. The area of waste management is currently very strongly regulated in the national and European and at the same time monitored by the civil public with a strong context in public election processes. Expenditures on waste management make up a relatively substantial part of municipal expenditures not only in the Czech Republic but also in developed countries, which is why a number of economists are paying attention to them. This emphasis is related, on the one hand, to the fact that they are interpreted from public sources and belong to the categories of environmental expenditure. Significant influences influencing the above factors include the standard of living of the population in each region and their consumption patterns, population density, geographical conditions, transport services, methods of collection and transport of commodities, availability and equipment of waste management technologies, competition of companies handling waste, the method of setting the price for the service and more. Green competition in waste management is very important, because environmental issues, the principle of circular economy, etc. and a properly set strategy based on results, will support and improve management and social thinking about waste companies. The aim of this paper is to present the results of waste management in the city of Havirov in terms of time and money. The results are old so that the consistency of the data obtained is maintained.
