%X This research aims to discover the factors influencing waste management policy decisions in municipalities in the Netherlands. The question is: What factors influence policy makers decisions in choosing a household waste management system? In order to answer this question, an analysis of academic and grey literature has been conducted. Policy documents regarding the waste management strategies of three Diftar municipalities have been compared with three source-separation municipalities. To conduct the analysis, the waste triangle was used. The waste triangle is a practical tool for waste policy makers to build their policies. The research started open-minded and without a hypothesis because there was too little research to build a hypothesis on. This analysis found for Diftar policy environmental and political reasons were important and for source-separation economic factors.
