Italian term or phrase: valutazione nel settore dei rifiuti

Explanation of vote in European Parliament on the 'Fernandes' Report on the Commission Green Paper on Bio-Waste Management.

Oreste Rossi (EFD), per iscritto. − La nostra posizione sul Libro verde della Commissione sulla gestione dei rifiuti organici biodegradabili è favorevole. L'introduzione di sistemi di raccolta differenziata, l'elaborazione di norme per il compost, l'orientamento per la prevenzione dei rifiuti organici, l'applicazione del concetto ciclo di vita e la *** valutazione nel settore dei rifiuti *** sono il punto di partenza per garantire maggior efficienza e risparmio, auspicando una raccolta differenziata obbligatoria per tutti gli Stati UE salvo laddove ciò non sia fattibile sotto il profilo economico e ambientale.

Of course something literal like "assessment/evaluation/appraisal in the waste sector" springs to mind but it seems pretty meaningless. Am I missing something?

EPD, which are product declarations, factor in the amount of waste produced and how such is managed.
Furthermore, LCA (Life Cycle Analysis) accounts for every production phase of the product from cradle to grave. Other indicators such as carbon and water footprints allow a suitable picture to obtain an overview of areas of improvement.
