Proposal for a directive
Recital 1
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, promoting the transition towards a more circular economy, increasing energy efficiency and reducing the EU's resource dependence. However, a comprehensive and integrated approach to the circular economy goes beyond conventional end- of-pipe approaches. It requires a paradigm shift in pollution control and should take account of water and energy consumption, as well as transport pollution throughout the life of a product and its packaging.

Recital 4 a (new)
(4a) Waste prevention is the most efficient way to advance resource efficiency, reduce the negative environmental impact of waste, and promote recycling materials of high quality. For these reasons, Annex II of Directive 94/62/EC should be reviewed and if necessary updated, and the Commission should invite CEN to revise the mandated standards EN 1347 to EN 13432, taking full account of the global standards ISO 18601 to ISO 18606.

Recital 5
Recital 5
(5) Through a progressive increase of the existing targets on preparing for re-use and recycling of packaging waste, it should be ensured that economically valuable waste materials are progressively and effectively recovered through proper waste management and in line with the waste hierarchy. That way it should be ensured that valuable materials found in waste are returned into the European economy, thus making progress in the implementation of the Raw Materials Initiative15 and the creation of a circular economy. __________________ 15 and, in the case of packaging materials, without prejudice to food safety, consumer health and food contact materials. __________________ 15 COM(2013) 442.

Recital 10
Recital 10
(10) Separate recycling targets should be set for ferrous metals and aluminium in order to achieve significant economic and environmental benefits because more aluminiummetals would be recycled leading to significant energy and carbon dioxide savings. The existing preparing for re-use and recycling target for metal packaging should therefore be split into separate targets for those two types of waste.

5. For the purposes of calculating whether the targets laid down in Article 6(1)(f) to (i) have been achieved Member States may take into account the recycling of metals that takes place in conjunction with incineration in proportion to the share of the packaging waste incinerated provided that the recycled metaterials meet certain quality requirements. Member States shall use the common methodology established in accordance with Article 11a(6) of Directive 2008/98/EC.
