17 Are we nearly there yet? objective Source: Eurostat, 2014 Recycled + Composted Landfilled Incinerated

18 The circular economy limitations Must not focus only on recycling and remanufacturing, which have energy impacts through transportation, reprocessing and subsequent manufacturing At the moment: impossible in practice to achieve completely circular system in which there is no use of virgin materials and no final waste

19 The current EU legal framework Energy performance of buildings Ecodesign Waste SME and industrial policy Resources and raw material Public procurement And more

20 The current EU legal waste framework Thematic Strategy on Waste Prevention and Recycling Packaging Waste Framework Directive (Includes Municipal and Construction Demolition waste) Incineration Directive Batteries In Brown : with targets WEEE &Use restriction Landfill Directive Vehicles Waste Shipment Regulation Recycling Standards (future) Mining waste Sewage Sludge PCB/ PCT Framework Treatment Streams

21 The New waste package The Waste Framework Directive The packaging Directive The landfill Directive MUST be a strong support to the objectives laid down in the circulr economy communcation

22 The waste package That is why we need: - Common definitions and 1 calculation method - A quantitative prevention target - A quantitative preparation for reuse target - Clear obligations regarding the organic fraction - A progressive phasing out of landfilling and incineration - A more ambitious target for the plastic stream - Stronger use of fiscal instruments (VAT reduction for repair activities and recycled products)

23 The added value of ACR+ network - Technical expertise - Exchange of good practices - Multistakeholders cooperation - EU projects involvement

24 Destination RECycling - DREC 13/12/2012 R4R expert group meeting, Athens, 13 December
