The ECN released its new position paper on the upcoming Circular Economy Act in response to the public consultation launched by the European Commission.
In this paper, we outline 12 policy recommendations to strengthen circularity in biowaste management across Europe.
Key proposals include:
- Supporting the implementation of an efficient separate collection of municipal and non-municipal bio-waste.
- Ensuring the quality of the collected bio-waste, and introducing recycling targets.
- Introducing a mandatory End-of-Waste status for compost and digestate at EU level.
- Encouraging the use of compost and digestate on soils.
