Why new targets?And why now?
1. Review clauses in 3 Directives by 2014
2. Even with full implementation of existing legislation, valuable resources are lost
3. Gap between existing targets and ambition level of the Resource Efficiency Roadmap and the recently adopted 7th EAP
4. Room to do more than existing targets – important benefits to capture

• Waste generation in decline • Strategy to combat food waste in place• Recycling/Reuse increased • Energy recovery limited to non-recyclable waste• Phasing out of landfilling (limited to non-
recoverable waste)• Use of market-based instruments• Implementation of the legislation
By 2020, 'taking into account time derogations provided in existing legislation'
7th EAP Objectives

Objectives
but also: Simplification/consistency between targets Improving implementation Creating mid-term certainty
Capture potential benefits:direct savings, access to raw materials, GHG/air emissions reduction, job creation, marine litter reduction, enhanced EU recycling industry
Move towards a "circular economy" by re-injecting valuable resources into the EU economy
by aligning the waste targets with the 7th EAP

Main elements of the proposal
![Page 25: Waste Targets Review – Main elements of the impact assessment Karolina D'Cunha, Michel Sponar DG Environment, Unit A2.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56649dff5503460f94ae7ba6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Approach
Combination of :
•Improved/increased targets •Measures to ensure proper and full implementation
![Page 26: Waste Targets Review – Main elements of the impact assessment Karolina D'Cunha, Michel Sponar DG Environment, Unit A2.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56649dff5503460f94ae7ba6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Prevention, eco-design
• Aspirational objective to reduce food waste by 30% by 2025 (Art 9 WFD)
• Ecodesign
• Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) - minimum requirements (true and full cost concept linking the fees paid by producers to recyclability of the products)
![Page 27: Waste Targets Review – Main elements of the impact assessment Karolina D'Cunha, Michel Sponar DG Environment, Unit A2.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56649dff5503460f94ae7ba6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
•Separate collection obligation by 2015 (Art 11(1) WFD)
•New separate collection obligation for bio-waste by 2025
•Clarification on measuring
•Definition of municipal waste
New targets – municipal waste recycling
![Page 28: Waste Targets Review – Main elements of the impact assessment Karolina D'Cunha, Michel Sponar DG Environment, Unit A2.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56649dff5503460f94ae7ba6/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
By 2025: no landfilling of
recyclable waste max 25%
landfilling
By 2030 (aspirational): • residual waste
only• max 5% landfilling
Review clauses:• 2018 for inert
waste• 2025 for the 2030
aspirational target
New targets – municipal waste landfilling
![Page 29: Waste Targets Review – Main elements of the impact assessment Karolina D'Cunha, Michel Sponar DG Environment, Unit A2.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56649dff5503460f94ae7ba6/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
New targets – packaging waste recycling
• Clarification on measuring (same as for municipal waste)• Repeal of the recovery and max recycling targets • New target for aluminium
![Page 30: Waste Targets Review – Main elements of the impact assessment Karolina D'Cunha, Michel Sponar DG Environment, Unit A2.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56649dff5503460f94ae7ba6/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Proposed targets
![Page 31: Waste Targets Review – Main elements of the impact assessment Karolina D'Cunha, Michel Sponar DG Environment, Unit A2.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56649dff5503460f94ae7ba6/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Simplification, data quality and best practices
Simplification: • Reporting obligations – no more implementation
reports• Definition + additional exemptions for SMEs
Better data:• Quality check report + third party verification of
statistics • National electronic registries (at least hazardous
waste)
Dissemination of best practices:• Minimum conditions for EPR • Early Warning System (next slide)
![Page 32: Waste Targets Review – Main elements of the impact assessment Karolina D'Cunha, Michel Sponar DG Environment, Unit A2.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56649dff5503460f94ae7ba6/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Early Warning System
1. Every 5 years: identification of MS at risk of not
meeting the targets + recommendations2. If identified as at risk, compliance plan, including
measures listed in Annex VIII
The list of measures in Annex VIII is consistent with: • Ex-ante conditionalities• Country-specific recommendations• Roadmaps discussed with 10 less advanced MS
![Page 33: Waste Targets Review – Main elements of the impact assessment Karolina D'Cunha, Michel Sponar DG Environment, Unit A2.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56649dff5503460f94ae7ba6/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Conclusions
With the proposed option:•More jobs (around 180,000)•Less GHG (- 443 on the period)•Better access to raw material and positive effect on competitiveness•Direct savings due to better waste management •Reduced marine litter (- 27,5% by 2030)
It will require:•Better governance/political will needed •Best practice dissemination •Involvement of the civil society
