Julkaisun metatiedot
Waste prevention and reduction contribute to protecting the environment and human health. Recent European policies have set framework conditions for implementing national waste prevention programmes and measures. Yet, waste generation is still increasing throughout Europe, both for total waste and key waste streams. Reducing waste requires a radical shift in production, consumer behaviour and reuse performance. This scoping study sets out to propose new waste policy measures to reduce waste generation in Europe. It considers trends in waste generation, explores enablers and barriers for waste prevention, and identifies best practice examples with upscaling opportunities based on desktop research and stakeholder consultation. This study covers all waste streams except food and packing waste. The analysis of the waste streams results in a prioritisation of the following: tyre waste, end-of-life vehicles, waste electrical and electronic equipment, construction and demolition waste, textile waste and municipal waste. The proposed measures for waste prevention include setting targets for waste reduction and preparation for reuse, introducing extended producer responsibility for additional waste streams, product traceability requirements and bans on the destruction of certain products. The initial assessment shows the expected effects of the proposed measures, quantitatively with regard to waste reduction and qualitatively with regard to environment and employment.
