Recital 5
(5) Clear environmental, economic and social benefits would be derived from further restricting landfilling, starting with waste streams that are subject to separate collection (e.g. plastics, metals, glass, paper, bio-waste). Technical, environmental or economical feasibility of recycling or other recovery of residual waste resulting from separately collected waste should be taken into account in the implementation of these landfill restrictions. Long-term investments in infrastructure, research and innovation should play a crucial role in reducing the amount of residual waste resulting from separately collected waste, the recycling or other recovery of which is not technically, environmentally or economically feasible at the moment.
