Europe also needs to improve its international competitiveness by being able to speed up transition to a low-carbon and resource-efficient economy in the energy-intensive industries such as steel, non-ferrous metals, paper, and the chemicals industry.

The Directive will also require Member States to meet collection targets for the re-use and recycling of metals, paper, glass and non-hazardous construction and demolition waste.

Although some of these operations are covered by other BREFs, e.g. use of recovered paper in paper production [94] or of metal scrap in metal production, [95] waste-related aspects tend to be covered only partially or with limited depth.
