59That is the only interpretation which guarantees compliance with the objective of minimising the negative effects of the generation and management of waste on human health and the environment pursued by Directive 2008/98. In such a case, the waste water from the paper and pulp production is not separable from residential or municipal waste water and can be recovered or disposed of only if it is also subject to necessary treatment operations which are required by national law. It is common knowledge that residential or municipal waste water is to be regarded as a substance which its holder discards.
