Objectives of the Waste Strategy
  • Put prevention policies into action
  • Reinforce the waste recycling market
  • Modernise by bringing new environmental thinking
    into waste policy
  • Improve the regulatory environment, i.e. clarify
    and simplify

5
Life Cycle Thinking
  • Specifying the environmental objective
  • Help identify priorities for future measures
  • Provide yardstick to assess policies
  • Assist implementing LCT
  • Guidance
  • Information and research

GHG emissions savings

Putting Prevention into Action
  • Framework approach involving all levels
  • EU actions IPPC, REACH, IPP, EMAS, Eco-label
  • Programmes at national/sub-national levels
  • Agree on a list of actions to be considered by MS
  • Targets and indicators at appropriate level
  • Improve science and knowledge useful for waste
    prevention
  • Environmental potential of prevention actions
  • Assess against environmental objective

8
Moving closer to a Recycling society
  • First phase - today
  • Renewed emphasis on implementation
  • Better regulation clarify and simplify
  • Encourage use of national disposal taxes
  • Work on common standards
  • Second phase
  • Assess need for additional measures to stimulate
    move to recycling society
  • Continue improving the regulation to facilitate
    high standard recycling and recovery

Revision of WFD
  • Leave elements that work untouched
  • Life cycle environmental impact thinking
  • Tackle identified problems end of waste,
    recovery and disposal
  • Modernise, simplify, clarify where useful
  • Reinforce standards waste prevention
  • Hazardous Waste Waste Oil Dirs

11
Current state of play
  • Council will adopt Conclusions on the Thematic
    Strategy at June Env Council, European Parliament
    in November
  • Waste Framework Directive likely to be in
    negotiations until 2008
  • Commission is working on the Thematic Strategy
    actions Communication on Waste/By-products,
    scientific work on life cycle thinking

12
Current issues
  • Comitology provisions clearer mandate, or
    co-decision? - EP and some MS
  • Waste Management hierarchy life cycle thinking
  • Efficiency criteria for recovery some MS say
    too high, others argue all incineration -
    disposal
  • Waste oil repeal, biowaste provisions
  • Waste prevention targets or programmes?
  • Internal market for recycling or shipment
    restrictions?
  • European waste management standards national
    standards
  • Producer responsibility and poluter-pays principle
