    The article deals with the problem of waste management in Algeria. It aims to analyze the various policies undertaken by the government in order to be able to respond to the principles of sustainable development and the circular economy from the perspective of sustainable and integrated waste management. The analyses carried out show that the first waste management strategies in Algeria were highly reactive and constituted a response to the exponential increase in waste. It is only since the year 2016 that the National Strategy for Integrated Waste Management has constituted an attempt at regulating this sector via a circular approach of profitability and sustainability.

    O artigo aborda a problemática da xestión de residuos en Alxeria. O seu obxectivo é analizar as distintas políticas emprendidas polo goberno para poder responder os principios do desenvolvemento sostible e da economía circular desde a perspectiva dunha xestión sostible e integrada dos residuos. As análises realizadas mostran que as primeiras estratexias de xestión de residuos en Alxeria foron moi reactivas e constituíron unha resposta ao aumento exponencial dos residuos. Só a partir do ano 2016 a Estratexia Nacional de Xestión Integrada de Residuos constituíu un intento de regular este sector a través dun enfoque circular de rendibilidade e sustentabilidade.
