Open-ended Ad Hoc Committee for the Implementation of the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and Other Wastes and their Disposal

8. Points out that, in a world in which natural resources, including arable land, are increasingly scarce, sustainability means consuming fewer resources in absolute terms, and not merely replacing one resource with another; stresses that in the case of biodegradable, bio-based and compostable plastics adequate measures should be adopted to promote them, provided their production does not impact negatively on agricultural output for human or animal consumption or on the environment; also stresses the need to build upon already recognised ...[+++]European standards (i.e. CEN 13432) in order to enable a clearer differentiation between degradable, biodegradable and compostable plastic products together with the provision of clearer information on their characteristics, recyclability and potential for reuse, to consumers as well as to recyclers and waste management operators;

This will include applying the waste hierarchy in accordance with the Waste framework Directive and the effective use of market-based instruments and measures to reduce the generation of waste, to promote reuse, to ensure high quality recycling and non-toxic material cycles so that waste can be used as a major, reliable source of raw material for the EU.; and to ensure that there is a high-quality source segregation system in place, energy recovery is limited to non-recyclable, non-biodegradable and non-compostable materials; that la ...[+++]ndfilling of recyclable, compostable and combustible materials is effectively phased out, except for certain hazardous waste where landfilling would represent the safest disposal method and that hazardous waste is significantly reduced and otherwise safely managed. Illegal waste shipments are eradicated (including by the use of more stringent monitoring) and internal market barriers for environmentally-sound recycling activities in the EU are removed.

Additional efforts, including on the prevention front (e.g. to reduce food waste) are needed to: achieve a significant reduction of waste per capita in absolute terms, limit energy recovery to non-recyclable and non-compostable materials, phase out landfilling of recyclable, compostable and combustible materials, except for certain hazardous waste where landfilling would represent the safest disposal method, promote reuse, ensure high quality recycling and non-toxic material cycles, and develop markets for secondary raw materials.

Every year, each European citizen generates over 500 kilos of municipal waste, more than one third of which goes directly to landfill. Whereas some Member States manage to put those resources to productive use, recycling or composting around 60% of their municipal waste, others struggle to manage it. Today Environment Commissioner Janez Potočnik is participating in a high level seminar in Brussels to help Member States that are lagging behind in sustainable waste management practices. The aim is to help optimise their waste policies through tailored Roadmaps with practical recommendations, focusing on the effective implementation of EU w ...[+++]aste legislation.
