As presented in the article, the issue of waste management is crucial for contemporary economies, especially from a perspective of the citizens. Companies apply various methods to manage waste in a sustainable way, usually limiting their activities to the scheme of "reduce, re-use and recycle". Although the needs of global community are the same (in terms of sustainable development) regardless country of origin, the companies apply different strategies of waste management. The insourcing model may be perceived as a way to gather waste from available places (streets, scrap-heaps or garbage dumps) and re-used to create a new value for the obtained resources. The outsourcing model is a chance for companies which have some production waste to be disposed. In it the customers (or generally speaking - people) are interested in gaining the resources to create a new product which is far from a firstly produced. The choice for specific model is irrelevant, because the crucial issue is sustainability which can be achieved by synergic cooperation of all waste-cycle members. (original abstract)
