Development of a guidance document on best practices in the extractive waste management plans
Circular economy action
Publication metadata
The Communication "Closing the loop - An EU action plan for the Circular Economy" describes the 'Circular Economy' as an economy wherein the value of products, materials and resources is maintained for as long as possible, and the generation of waste minimised. The Communication announced that the European Commission will develop guidance and promote best practices in the extractive waste
management plans (EWMPs) by 2018. The Raw Materials Initiative was put forward in 2008 to address the need for sustainable access to raw materials that manufacturing industries in Europe have. It was renewed in 2011 with the addition of the list of Critical Raw Materials, materials that have a high economic importance for Europe and where there is a risk of sufficient supply. The list is updated continuously, and the 2017 list features 27 critical raw materials. There is potential for some of these materials to be mined from historical waste, and investments in research projects are being done on these processes. Since the entry into force of the Directive 2006/21/EC (Extractive Waste Directive) on 1 May 2008, according to Article 5 of the EWD operators have to submit EWMP as part of their permit applications. As a result of the many years of experience with EWMPs, a substantial knowledge base has now been established across the whole of the EU territory, which should enable the identification of best practices that merit a more widespread implementation across the extractive sector.
