The regulatory context: drivers
from EU waste policy
• Revised WFD  waste hierarchy + recycling
targets + prevention programmes
• Packaging Directive  recycling targets
• Landfill Directive  diversion targets for biodeg
waste + obligation for pretreatment

EP resolution of 20 April 2012 priorities for 7th EAP
• (the EP) Takes the view that the 7th EAP
should provide for full implementation of
waste legislation, including compliance with
the waste treatment hierarchy while ensuring
coherence with other EU policies; considers
that it should set more ambitious prevention,
re-use and recycling targets, including a net
decrease in waste generation

“ready effect” actions
(Community level)
• Home composting
• Sustainable event management (e.g. no
throwaway dishes/cutlery)
• Tap water
• Cloth (washable) nappies

Costs of MSW management – some general
remarks
• Increased cost of disposal
- Landfill Directive
- Incineration Directive + IPPC
• Also, cost of collection may be
optimised
- Savings on disposal

…in the end of the story…
• 70%+ sep collection – ACHIEVABLE
• No increase of waste arisings (rather, the contrary) –
ACHIEVABLE
• Further reduction of env footprint of landfills –
ACHIEVABLE, by means of biological stabilisation - another
20% process loss
• Further recovery of materials from reisiduals –
ACHIEVABLE , another 30-35% recovery
• Only 40 % (or so) of residual waste to be landfilled as a
stabilised material – 12 % of MSW !!
Aren’t we getting damn close to zero?
