Proposal for a directive
Recital 2
(2) The targets laid down in Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council14 for preparing for re- use and recycling of waste should be amended to make them better reflect the Union's ambition to move to a circular economy. __________________ 14 Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 November 2008 on waste and repealing certain Directives (OJ L 312, 22.11.2008, p. 3).

Amendment 188 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 4
(4) Municipal waste constitutes approximately between 7 and 10% of the total waste generated in the Union; however, this waste stream is amongst the most complex ones to manage, and the way it is managed generally gives a good indication of the quality of the overall waste management system in a country. The challenges of municipal waste management result from its highly complex and mixed composition, direct proximity of the generated waste to citizens, and a very high public visibility. As a result, its management involves a need for a highly complex waste management system including an efficient collection scheme, an effective sorting system, tracing of waste streams, a need to actively engage citizens and businesses, a need for infrastructure adjusted to the specific waste composition, and an elaborate financing system. Countries which have developed efficient municipal waste management systems generally perform better in overall waste management. However, proper management of municipal waste alone is not enough to boost the transition to a circular economy where waste is considered a resource; a lifecycle approach to products and waste is necessary to ignite this boost.

Amendment 225 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 8 a (new)
(8a) Extended producer responsibility provisions in this Directive aim to support the design and production of goods which take fully into account and facilitate the efficient use of resources during the whole life cycle of the product including the repair, re-use, disassembly and recycling. Extended producer responsibility is an individual obligation on producers who should be accountable for the end-of-life management of products that they place on the market. Producers should be able, however, to shift their individual responsibility to a collective one by establishing and steering producer responsibility organisations and by entering into agreements with these.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 9
(9) Extended producer responsibility schemes form an essential part of efficient waste management, but their effectiveness and performance differ significantly between Member States. Thus, it is necessary to set minimum operating requirements for extended producer responsibility schemes. Those requirements should reduce costs and boost performance, by measures such as facilitating better implementation of separate collection and sorting, ensuring better quality recycling, help secure cost- efficient access to secondary raw materials as well as ensure a level-playing field, including for small and medium sized enterprises, and avoid obstacles to the smooth functioning of the internal market. They should also contribute to the incorporation of end-of-life costs into product prices and provide incentives for producers to take better into account recyclthe principle of the waste hierarchy, including recyclability, reusability and reusparability when designing their product, based on a harmonised EU- approach, when designing their products. The implementation of the minimum requirements for extended producer responsibility schemes should be without disproportionate burden to public bodies, other economic entities and consumers. The requirements should apply to both new and existing extended producer responsibility schemes. A transitional period is however necessary for existing extended producer responsibility schemes to adapt their structures and procedures to the new requirements.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 12
(12) Member States should take measures to promote prevention of food waste in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 25 September 2015, and in particular its target of halving food wasteper capita global food waste at the retail and consumer levels by 2030. These measures should aim to prevent food waste in primary production, in processing and manufacturing, in retail and other distribution of food, inand at restaurants and food services as well as in householdil and consumer levels. Having regard to the environmental and economic benefits of preventing food waste, Member States should establish specific food waste prevention measures and should measure progress in food waste reduction. To facilitate exchange of good practice across the EU both between Member States and between food business operators, uniform methodologies for such measurement should be established. Reporting on food waste levels should take place on a biennial basis.

Recital 13
(13) Industrial, certain parts of commercial waste and extractive waste are extremely diversified in terms of composition and volume, and very different depending on the economic structure of a Member State, the structure of the industry or commerce sector that generates the waste and the industrial or commercial density in a given geographical area. Henceowever, for most industrial and extractive waste, an industry-oriented approach using Best Available Techniques reference documents and similar instruments to address the specific issues related to the management of a given type of waste is a suitable solution16 . However,not a long term effective solution to reach the objectives of a circular economy. As industrial waste and commercial packaging waste should continue to bwaste are covered by the requirements of Directive 94/62/EC and Directive 2008/98/EC, including their respective improvementsthese types of waste should also be covered by recycling obligations similar to those which apply to municipal waste. For this reason, the Commission should propose by 31 December 2018 definitions and recycling targets for commercial wastes and industrial wastes to be met by 2025 and 2030. __________________ 16 Industrial activities are covered by Best Available Techniques (BAT) reference documents (BREFs) drawn up under the Industrial Emissions Directive 2010/75/EU (OJ L 334, 17.12.2010, p. 17) that include information on the prevention of resource use and waste generation, re-use, recycling and recovery. The on-going revision of the BREFs and the adoption by the Commission of BAT Conclusions will strengthen the impact of these BREFs on industrial practices leading to further resource efficiency gains and increased waste recycling and recovery.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 13 a (new)
(13a) In order to help achieve the targets of this Directive and to boost the transition to a circular economy, the Commission should promote the coordination and exchange of information and best practices between Member States and between different sectors of the economy. This exchange could be facilitated through communications platforms that could help raise awareness of new industrial solutions and allow for a better overview of available capacities and would contribute to connecting the waste industry and other sectors and to support industrial symbiosis.

Amendment 306 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 17
(17) In order to ensure the reliability of the data gathered on preparation for re-use it is essential to establish common rules for reporting. Similarly, it is important to lay down more precise rules on how Member States should report what is effectively recycled and can be counted towards the attainment of the recycling targets. To that effect, as a general ruleCalculation of recycled municipal waste should be based on one solid harmonised method which will prevent Member States from reporting discarded waste as recycled waste. To that end, the reporting on the attainment of the recycling targets must be based on the input to the final recycling process. In order to limit administrative burdens, Member States should be allowed,add to the reliability of the data gathered and to better under strict conditions, to report recycling rates on the basisand the different waste streams, Member States should also gather data ofn the output of sorting facilities and ensure that waste streams are tracked. Losses in weight of materials or substances due to physical and/or chemical transformation processes inherent to the final recycling process should not be deducted from the weight of the waste reported as recycled.

(20) Compliance with the obligation to set up separate collection systems for paper, metal, plastic and glass is essential in order to increase preparing for re-use and recycling rates in Member States. In addition bio-Bio- waste should be collected separately to contribute to an increase in preparing for re-use and recycling rates and the prevention of contamination of dry recyclable materials. In addition, research into possible collection and recycling systems for also other streams and new materials should be encouraged and intensified.

(28) Statistical dataData and information reported by Member States are essential for the Commission to assess compliance with waste legislation across the Member States. The quality, reliability and comparability of statisticsreported data should be improved by establishing a common methodology for collection and processing of data based on reliable sources and by introducing a single entry point for all waste data, deleting obsolete reporting requirements, benchmarking national reporting methodologies and introducing a data quality check report. Therefore, when reporting on the achievement of the targets set out in waste legislation, Member States shall use the most recentcommon methodology developed by the Commission andin cooperation with the national statistical offices of the Member States and the national authorities responsible for waste management.

Proposal for a directive
Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 13
Directive 2008/98/EC
Article 22 – paragraph 1
Member States shall ensure the separate collection of bio-waste where technically, environmentally and economically practicable and appropriate to ensure the relevant quality standards for compost and to attain the targets set out in Article 11(2)(a), (c) and (d) and 11(3)(c). By way of derogation from the first subparagraph, Member States may exclude sparsely populated areas or other areas where it is demonstrated that separate collection does not deliver the best overall environmental outcome taking into account life-cycle thinking and the overall impacts of the generation and management of bio-waste. Member States shall notify the Commission of the intention to make use of this derogation. The Commission shall review and assess whether the derogation is justified, taking into account the objectives of this Directive. Where the Commission has raised no objections within nine months, the derogation shall be considered to be accepted. Where the Commission objects it shall adopt a decision and inform the Member State of this.
