The proceedings opened today address missing reports on reaching targets on reuse, recycling and recovery under the Waste Framework Directive (Directive 2008/98/EC), the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (Directive 2002/96/EC), the Batteries Directive (Directive 2006/66/EC), the Packaging Directive (European Parliament and Council Directive 94/62/EC) and Directive on End-of-Life Vehicles (Directive 2000/53/EC), and under the Waste Shipments Regulation (Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006).

A common EU target for recycling 65% of municipal waste by 2030; A common EU target for recycling 75% of packaging waste by 2030; A binding landfill target to reduce landfill to maximum of 10% of all waste by 2030; A ban on landfilling of separately collected waste; Promotion of economic instruments to discourage landfilling ; Simplified and improved definitions and harmonised calculation methods for recycling rates throughout the EU; Concrete measures to promote re-use and stimulate industrial symbiosis –turning one industry's by-product into another industry's raw material; Economic incentives for producers to put greener produc ...[+++]ts on the market and support recovery and recycling schemes (e.g. for packaging, batteries, electric and electronic equipment, vehicles).

Set a common EU target for recycling 65% of municipal waste by 2030; Set a common EU target for recycling 75% of packaging waste by 2030; Set a binding landfill target to reduce landfill to maximum of 10% of all waste by 2030; Step up its work with Member States to improve waste management on the ground; Simplify and improve waste definitions and harmonise calculation methods; Ensure that structural funds are used to support the objectives of the EU waste legislation and guided by the EU waste hierarchy – which establishes a priority order guided by the best environmental outcome, progressing from prevention, preparation for reuse, ...[+++]recycling and energy recovery through to disposal, such as landfilling. Propose minimum criteria for Extended Producer Responsibility schemes - rewarding producers who put greener products on the market and encourage their recovery and recycling at the end of their lifecycle

(21) In order to verify or calculate if the recycling and recovery targets set in European Parliament and Council Directive 94/62/EC of 20 December 1994 on packaging and packaging waste, Directive 2000/53/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 September 2000 on end-of life vehicles, Directive 2002/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003 on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and Directive 2006/66/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 September 2006 on batteries and accumulators and waste batteries and accumulators as well as other relevant Community legislation a ...[+++]re met, waste which has ceased to be waste should only be accounted for as recycled and recovered waste when the re-use, recycling or recovery operation is completed.
