Schiphol Airport urges reclassification of international flight waste

5 Nov 2025

Feedback on — EU Circular Economy Act aims to boost recycling and secondary materials use.

Their ask — Royal Schiphol Group requests reclassification of International Catering Waste (ICW) from Category 1 to Category 3 under EU animal by-products rules. They argue current rules force incineration of 3,000 tonnes annually despite no evidence linking airline waste to disease outbreaks. Alternatively, they seek a quantitative risk assessment of actual health risks.1 2 3

How it helps them — This would enable recycling and composting of waste currently incinerated, reducing environmental impact.4 5

Who loses — Animal health authorities lose precautionary controls against potential disease transmission via waste.6
