2 Can a front-runner country find incentives in the current EU waste package? Afval- en Materialencongres VVSG-Go4Circle 16 november 2017

3 Package offers few incentives for upscaling existing national policies Focus on capacity building within EU Focus on EU equal level playing field for existing policies no scaling down Recycling targets for municipal waste, packaging waste Mandatory separate collection: no TEEP derogation Extended producer responsibility European end of waste criteria Landfill: ban and reductiontargets Incineration capacities Cohesionfunds: taking account of waste hierarchy

4 Focus on (binding) EU instruments for circular economy Indicators going beyond waste: material leakage, resource productivity, Stimuli for prevention: reuse targets, eco-design, Financial instruments: VAT for recycled content, Circular procurement: criteria, targets EoW EU wide criteria: eg. for plastics Innovation policies for circular business models

8 Circular Economy and the role of the private waste management industry A number of positive elements: The new legally binding targets for recycling and landfill diversion The emphasis on better implementation of waste legislation The promotion of eco-design The emphasis on ensuring that EU funded projects contribute to a circular economy and must be in line with the waste hierarchy

9 Circular Economy and the role of the private waste management industry A number of aspects to be improved: Balance between supply and demand side measures Create resilient markets for recycled materials to ensure the required investments Identify ways to better reflect the externalities caused in the price of virgin materials; to recognize the benefits of using recycled materials

SHIPMENT: OPENING UP INTRA-EU BORDERS TO SORTED, DRY RECYCLABLES E.G.
