Joint letter | Expand the scope of the EU Waste Framework Directive

NGOs and industry have written a joint letter to the European Parliament's Environment Committee to express their support for a limited expansion of the current scope of the proposal to revise the EU Waste Framework Directive.

While a comprehensive revision of the Waste Framework Directive should be envisaged in the future, we believe that the current revision should address urgent issues related to incineration and landfilling of municipal waste and introduce targets for the collection and recycling of waste oils. This is crucial to deliver on the Green Deal commitments and speed up the transition towards a circular economy.
