Waste Framework review to reduce waste and the environmental impact of waste management

Environment

The Waste Framework Directive protects human health and the environment through the proper management of waste, in line with the waste hierarchy. This revision of the Directive will improve waste management in line with the waste hierarchy through measures to promote re-use of products, reduce waste generation, reduce mixed waste and increase preparation for re-use or recycling of waste through better EU separate collection.

Environmental Bureau Demands 50% Food Waste Cut, Stricter Textile Rules

European Environmental Bureau, 21 Nov 2023

The organization demands 50% food waste reduction by 2030 covering the entire supply chain from farm to fork, not just the proposed 10-30% targets. For textiles, they want separately collected textiles treated as waste until proven otherwise, faster EPR rollout with no exemptions for micro-enterprises, and binding targets for collection, reuse, and recycling. They also call for expansion to commercial, industrial, and construction waste.
This would align EU policy with their advocacy priorities and international commitments.
Fast fashion companies lose as volume-based EPR fees would penalize overproduction.

Chemical Industry Seeks Resource-Oriented Framework Over Waste Focus

European Chemical Industry Council, 22 Feb 2022

The organization requests a transition from waste-oriented to resource-oriented policy framework. They want recognition of chemical recycling's role in transforming waste into valuable secondary raw materials. They emphasize the need for clear definitions and coherence between existing legislation.
This would position chemical recycling as central to EU circular economy policy.
Traditional waste management sectors lose if policy shifts from disposal to recycling.

Fuel industry urges flexible waste oil recycling targets

FuelsEurope, 21 Feb 2022

FuelsEurope requests that any waste oil collection and regeneration targets be based on technical feasibility and economic viability. They want flexibility for Member States and assessment of unequal geographical distribution of regeneration facilities. They seek targets that enable production meeting existing ISO standards.
This would allow them to use waste oils as feedstock for low-carbon fuels without unrealistic quality constraints.
Stricter regeneration targets could limit fuel production from waste oils favored by refiners.
