Airport waste management system
Good evening everyone. The specifications for the airport waste management system make frequent references to "líneas de actuación medioambientales". While I would usually translate "línea de actuación" as "course of action", this text provides some sort of codes that seem to indicate the "líneas de actuación" are some sort of regulations or guidelines.
Should I translate it as "environmental guidelines", "environmental regulations" or something else? TIA.

environmental procedures
Not sure without more context, but these might refer to the internal procedures to comply with environmental regulations (hence the codes, which could refer to the full procedural docs prepared by the company).

Actually, as you said, probably not "lines of" in this case.
Either of the other two might work.

I think "líneas de acción" could be translated as "guidelines" so you could also go with "the corresponding environmental guidelines".
Too late to go back and change my first suggestion, but that would be my proposal.
guidelines for environmental action
environmental action guidelines
