Guide to the preparation of regional waste prevention concepts.

Waste prevention is the most effective form of resource conservation and an essential measure for climate protection. It includes measures that are taken before a product becomes waste. Effective waste prevention requires the participation of all. Municipalities have a special role to play in this, as they act as role models and stimulate waste prevention through incentives. As waste producers, they are able to adapt their actions accordingly. Against this background, the Federal Environment Agency, on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Climate Protection, the Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology, has developed a practical guideline for the preparation of a waste prevention concept for municipalities. The guide contains practical guidance, proposed measures, a wide range of implementation tips and numerous best practice examples.废物预防（waste prevention）是最有效的资源节约形式，亦是气候保护的关键举措。其涵盖所有在产品转化为废弃物前采取的干预措施。高效推进废物预防工作，离不开全社会的广泛参与。地方政府在此领域肩负特殊职责：一方面可发挥示范引领作用，另一方面可通过激励政策推动废物预防工作开展。作为废弃物产生主体，地方政府可据此调整自身行动策略。在此背景下，联邦环境署（Federal Environment Agency）受气候保护、环境、能源、交通、创新与技术联邦部委托，编制了一份面向地方政府的废物预防规划实用指南。该指南包含实操指引、推荐措施、丰富的实施技巧以及大量最佳实践案例。
