减少废物的手段可分为三类：第一，金钱奖励;第二，服务水平;最后，促进预防和减少废物的措施。此外，社区的具体特点决定了废物的产生量。我们评估是否在文献中的政策措施的有效性的研究结果是有效的比利时，特别是佛兰芒地区。对佛兰德当局在“2003-2007年家庭废物处理执行计划”中制定并由地方当局执行的政策组合进行了评估。多元回归分析确定了那些对家庭固体废物影响最大的测量。我们发现收入弹性为0.326。此外，提供的服务水平也有很大的影响。金钱激励是减少浪费的有效手段，价格弹性为-0.139。此外，由家庭承担的直接费用中直接归因于废物处理服务的百分比提高，减少了废物。因此，实施“污染者自付”原则证明是有效的。
Instruments to reduce waste can be divided into three groups: first, pecuniary incentives; second, service level; finally, measurements stimulating prevention and waste reduction. Also specific characteristics of the community determine the amount of waste generated. We evaluate whether findings in literature on effectiveness of policy measures are valid for Belgium, specifically for the Flemish region. The policy mix instituted by the Flemish authorities in the ‘implementation plan household waste 2003–2007’ and implemented by local authorities, is assessed. Multiple regression analysis identifies those measurements having the greatest impact on household solid waste. We found an income elasticity of 0.326. Also the provided service level has a significant impact. Pecuniary incentives are effective instruments in reducing waste, with a price elasticity of −0.139. Furthermore, a higher percentage of direct costs, directly attributable to waste services, borne by households, reduces waste. A consequent implementation of the ‘polluter pays’ principle proves to be effective.
