Recital 6
Recital 6
(6) To ensure that recycling targets are based on reliable and comparable data and to enable more effective monitoring of progress in attaining those targets, the definition of municipal waste in Directive 2008/98/EC should be in line with the definition used for statistical purposes by the European Statistical Office and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, on the basis of which Member States have been reporting data for several years. Within this definition municipal waste should be understood as household waste and similar waste, including bulky waste (e.g. white goods, old furniture, mattresses), garden waste (including leaves, grass clipping, and cleansing waste), waste from street cleaning services (including street sweepings), the content of litter containers, waste from park and garden maintenance. Municipal waste does not include waste from sewage network and treatment, including sewage sludge and construction and demolition waste. The definition of municipal waste in this Directive is neutral with regard to the public or private status of the operator managing waste.

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. Member States should incentivise financially the collection of unsold food products in retail and catering for the purpose of redistribution to charitable organisations.
