Waste disposal

Author

Abstract

This study provides an overview and analysis of waste disposal operations and waste flows in the EU, based on data and information from existing sources and from a survey designed specifically for this study.The study also provides a comprehensive overview and analysis of almost 50 documents, including a non-exhaustive list of EU legal texts and reference documents related to the disposal of waste and the protection of human health and the environment, and a number of UN conventions.In addition, data and information on waste flows, the different interpretations and uses of the waste disposal operations, the permitting of waste disposal operations, and the measures implemented to protect human health and the environment were analysed, based on input from 22 Member States and 6 industry organisations.By means of waste data and information analysis, this study analyses the situation in each Member State and identifies the main impacts on the circular economy brought about as a result of the disposal of a number of targeted waste streams, in particular construction and demolition wastes, textile wastes, municipal biowaste, other municipal wastes and other industrial non-hazardous wastes.Finally, the study aims to support the Commission by identifying a number of areas of technical and legal improvements, and a number of policy options, i.e. overall and/or operation-specific waste disposal restrictions and reduction targets.
