6 Better Implementation 'Compliance promotion' based on policy dialogue and advice Several strands of work for specific waste streams/issues Early Warning Exercise Ensure solid waste management plans, based on reliable data + mindful of 2020 & 2030 targets Make use of EU funds for long-term investments Step up efforts to prevent waste generation Extend separate collection Improve bio-waste management Use economic instruments Environmental Implementation Review and European Semester

7 Bio-waste related provisions in the new WFD Article 11a: strict recycling calculation rules based on input into recycling + as of 1 January 2027 Member States may only count municipal bio-waste entering aerobic or anaerobic treatment as recycled if it has been separately collected or separated at source Article 22: by 31 December 2023 bio-waste shall either be separated and recycled at source or collected separately + shall not be mixed with other types of waste Article 22: Member States may allow waste with similar biodegradability and compostability properties to be collected together with bio-waste

8 Bio-waste related provisions in the new WFD Article 22.2: Member States shall take measures to: encourage the recycling, including composting and digestion, of bio-waste in a way that fulfils a high level of environment protection and results in output which meets relevant high-quality standards; encourage home composting; and promote the use of materials produced from bio-waste.
