Abstract
The municipality of Groningen aims to harmonise its waste policy. The two proposed policies, pay-per-deposit Diftar and fixed-rate with additional facilities are not optimal considering the unwanted drawbacks. The study validates the effectiveness of the proposed policies by measuring their performances based upon implementation evidence. The analysis shows that Diftar exceeds in reducing waste and increasing waste awareness, while fixed-rate is more convenient for households and requires lower investments. SWOT analyses were performed to further refine the pros and cons. An improved policy is then constructed based on a framework, setting Diftar as the base and incorporating the measures to ensure convenience and cost-efficiency of the fixed-rate. Proposals to improve Diftar are made based on implementation evidence, case studies and literature. The study has resolved in the proposition for an improved waste policy for the municipality of Groningen. Future study is required to gauge the success of the implementation of the policy, as adjustments and flaws are inevitable.
