Summary/Abstract: The article examines the effectiveness of remedial measures imposed in administrative offence proceedings within the waste management sector. It juxtaposes the doctrinal framework with enforcement practice to assess the extent to which imposed remedial measures advance damage remediation in compliance with the principles of environmental law – most notably the requirement of rectifying environmental harm at its source – and whether they contribute to the prevention of recidivism. By mapping points of convergence and divergence between normative objectives and administrative implementation, the analysis evaluates the remedial, preventive, and deterrent functions of these measures within the broader architecture of administrative liability. On this basis, the article formulates de lege ferenda recommendations aimed at improving regulatory effectiveness and strengthening legal enforceability. The article thus situates remedial measures at the intersection of theory and practice, clarifies their role in environmental protection, and identifies targeted reforms to enhance their capacity to deliver timely remediation and credible deterrence.
