HomeStudy to assess member states (MS) practices on by-product (BP) and end-of waste (EoW)
Final report, 2020
Publication metadata
The scope of the study is determined by: - the mandate provided by the “Communication on the interface between chemical, product and waste legislation” (COM/2018/032 final)14 to launch a study to gain a better understanding of MS' practices in regard to the implementation and verification of provisions on EoW status as a basis for possible guidelines; - the implementation in MS of the existing Article 5 and 6 of Directive 2008/98/EC on waste in MS and the need for MS to transpose the amended provisions of these Articles into their national legislation by early July 2020; and - the mandate under the new Article 38 (1) of the revised WFD to organise a regular exchange of information and sharing of best practices among MS in relation to national BP and EoW policies and decisions facilitated by a Union-wide electronic register to be established by the European Commission. In a fact-finding exercise, carried out via a written communication and a stakeholder consultation by telephone, up-to date information has been gathered covering practices and experiences gained in the national implementation (legislation, permitting, inspection, reporting) of the two concepts of EoW and BP. In addition to consultations with representatives from the competent authorities and industry, results of already available surveys investigating current practices in handling EoW and BP has been analysed (including the extensive data collection performed by JRC in the context of establishing EoW criteria) in the past. In task 1, national legislation and guidance for all sector and waste/material streams were analysed according to information received from respondents. With regard to single-case decisions, the overall approach adopted by the respective Member State was investigated (i.e. who is the responsible authority, how are verifications/inspections performed, are there any national registers or studies where these cases are compiled, is information on the quantities of the waste streams concerned available, etc.). However, the scope does not cover a detailed analysis to be performed on single-case decisions for the whole range of possible waste/material streams and sectors (limit values, proof of evidence, justification etc.). In task 2, a detailed analysis of specific waste/material streams and procedures established in the MS was performed in task 2 by means of case studies for selected waste/material streams/procedures. In task 3, all the results gained from task 1 and task 2 will enable to identify main recommendations to be taken into consideration for framing future national legal / enforcement regimes for EoW status and BP.
