Waste Framework Directive – Sort recyclable materials from mixed waste before incineration and landfill
The squandering of recyclable resources, losing their material value to incineration and landfilling, constitutes a significant yet avoidable hindrance to realising the circular economy. Though a further comprehensive revision of Waste Framework Directive (WFD) is anticipated, the ongoing revision should urgently address the incineration and landfilling of recyclable waste. This is pivotal for achieving municipal and packaging waste recycling targets, already enshrined in EU law for multiple years but challenging for many Member States.
The undersigned, a broad coalition of business organisations representing all levels of their value chains and NGOs, express their support for a targeted expansion of the current proposal to revise the WFD.
