Proposal for a directive
Recital 1

(1) Waste management in the Union should be improved, with a view to protecting, preserving and improving the quality of the environment, protecting human health, ensuring prudent ~~and~~ rational utilisation of natural resources and promoting a more circular economy, increasing energy efficiency and reducing the Union's resource dependence enhancing the diffusion of renewable energy from municipal and agricultural waste such as biogas and biomethane.

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, a need to actively engage citizens and businesses, a need for infrastructure adjusted to the specific waste composition, and an elaborate financing system also aimed at supporting the use of renewable energies originated from waste, such as biomethane and biogas as a fuel. Countries which have developed efficient municipal waste management systems generally perform better in overall waste management, including the achievement of the recycling targets. However, proper management of municipal waste alone is not enough to boost the transition to a circular economy, where all kinds of waste should be considered as a new resource.

Directive 2008/98/EC
Article 8 – paragraph 2 – subparagraph 2

Such measures may encourage, inter alia, the development, production and marketing of products that are suitable for multiple use, that are technically durable and that are, after having become waste, suitable for preparation for re-use and recycling in order to facilitate proper implementation of the waste hierarchy. The measures should take into account the impact of products throughout their life cycle and relevant European legislation and standards already applicable to products.

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 waste by 2030. These measures should aim to prevent food waste in primary production, in processing and manufacturing, in retail and other distribution of food, in restaurants and food services as well as in households. 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. In order to achieve the EU target by 2030, Member States must introduce appropriate measures to promote charitable donations of food surpluses and food products that can no longer be sold.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 15 a (new)

(15a) Separate collection and regeneration of waste oils has significant economic and environmental benefits including in terms of raw materials security of supply, moving the Union closer to a Circular Economy. The collection and regeneration targets for waste oils should take into account the divergences among the Member States in relation to the collection and recycling performance. The targets are beneficial to create a level playing field and harmonise the EU single market whilst ensuring protection of the environment.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 21 a (new)

(21a) Where necessary, and in order to facilitate or improve recovery, waste shall be collected separately if technically, environmentally and economically practicable, including out-of-home collection of waste which would otherwise risk being discarded as litter. Separately collected waste shall not be mixed with other waste or other material with different properties.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 25 a (new)

(25a) With a view to reducing litter and the incidence of littering, while also supporting the Union's ambition to move towards a circular economy, Member States and local authorities should make greater efforts to promote the infrastructure and systems that are required for effective out-of-home collection of used products that often end up as litter.
