Important Definitions (Directive 2008/98/EC)
Recycling: means any recovery operation by which waste materials are reprocessed into products, materials or substances whether for the original or other purposes. It includes the reprocessing of organic material but does not include energy recovery and the reprocessing into materials that are to be used as fuels or for backfilling operations;
Reuse: means any operation by which products or components that are not waste are used again for the same purpose for which they were conceived
Recovery: means any operation the principal result of which is waste serving a useful purpose by replacing other materials which would otherwise have been used to fulfil a particular function, or waste being prepared to fulfil that function, in the plant or in the wider economy. Annex II sets out a non-exhaustive list of recovery operations; This includes incineration facilities dedicated to the processing of municipal solid waste only where their energy efficiency is equal to or above 0.60-0.65.
Disposal: means any operation which is not recovery even where the operation has as a secondary consequence the reclamation of substances or energy. Annex I sets out a non-exhaustive list of disposal operations;

General Targets
To reduce biodegradable waste going to landfill to 75% of 1995 figures by 2010 and to 35% by 2020 (this included paper, card, food, garden waste and organic textiles)
The regulations aim to reduce the volume of waste and increase recycling rates. Composting and careful segregation of waste types for recycling will need to be encouraged to fulfill the targets.
To ban the co-disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous waste. Three separate landfill types will be required for hazardous, non-hazardous and inert wastes.
The requirement to treat most wastes before they are landfilled. To ban the disposal of whole tyres at landill sites by 2003, and by 2006 tyre granules will not be
allowed in landfills. To ban landfilling of liquid wastes, certain clinical waste and certain hazardous wastes. Increase the level of control, monitoring and reporting at landill sites.
Reduction targets for the landfilling of biodegradable waste (based on data for 1995): 75 % by 2006 50 % by 2009 35 % by 2016
Sewage sludge is not biodegradable municipal waste!
The 2016 target already reached by AT, BE, DK, DE, NL and SE. The 2009 target reached by FR, IT and FI are close to it. The 2006 target has not been reached by ES, PT, IE, UK, GR

EU Waste Composition (2004)
The situation in Europe in numbers
Overview On average, the European citizen generated 10 % more waste in 2007 than
in 1995 (Eurostat). On average the generation of waste is about 500 kg per capita ranging from 300 to 800 kg per capita (2007).
In 1995, 62 % of municipal waste was landfilled on average and in 2007 this had fallen to 42 %.
Thirteen countries had either no incineration or incinerated less than 10 % of their municipal waste in 2007. Eight EU‑15 Member States incinerated more than 20 % of municipal waste.
According to recently published data, 22 % of municipal waste generated in 2007 has been recycled and 17 % composted (Eurostat, 2009).
Biodegradable municipal waste (bio-waste, paper and cardboard, and biodegradable textiles) make up a considerable share of municipal waste — approximately 60–70 % in most countries.
The generation of BMW has been relatively stable over the period 1995–2006 although its production varies between countries and regions (200-400 kg per capita).
In 2005-2006 in the old Member States the level of MW recycling varies from 60 kilogram to 370 kilogram per capita. In the new Member States the level varies from 20 kilogram to 100 kilogram per capita.
Overview (up to 2007) Total MW: 300-800 kg/capita Total BMW: 200-400 kg/capita Recycling rate: 20-370 kg/capita1. Paper/cardboard: 10-140 kg/capita2. Bio-waste: 10-130 kg/capita3. Plastic: 1-50 kg/capita4. Glass: 5-45 kg/capita5. Metal: 2-25 kg/capita

Lessons learned from Europe “good results countries” have:
Regime of certainty: strong planning, landfill bans, strict regulation, municipal (co-)ownership reducing financial risks;
Partnership between government levels: transparant responsibilities, thorough consultation, local implementation;
Public trust: separate local waste taxes (transparency), strict adherence to EU requirements;
Integrated approach across waste streams: integration of household and industrial waste leads to cost reductions.
Lessons learned from Europe
“bad results countries” have: Lack of certainty which creates difficulties in securing
key waste management infrastructure; Poor strategic planning capability with little cooperation
between tiers of government; Weak local accountability and ownership of waste
related issues so that issues are repeatedly deferred; Politically inconsistent messages and fiscal incentives
which contradict the promotion of the waste hierarchy.
AT: Legal obligation for separate collection biowaste, packaging waste, biodegradable fraction C&D waste; landfilling only of wastes pretreated by incineration or MBT in order to obtain TOC <5%
BE Flanders: Landfilling ban for unsorted MSW, waste collected for recovery and combustible fraction (TOC >6%)
DK: Landfilling ban for all combustible waste fractions (incineration)
DE: General legal obligation for separation; biodegradable MSW composted, packaging waste recovered; general ban for landfilling of untreated waste (pre-treatment MBT or incineration)
Implementation examples (2005) – Biodegradable waste
LU: separate collection kitchen, green waste, paper, wood; pre-treatment installations for MSW at landfills (sorting, shredding, homogenisation, organic stabilisation)
NL: High share of incineration for MSW; targets for separate collection organic waste, ban on landfilling separately collected biowaste (composting, fermentation)
SE: Landfiling ban for combustible and organic waste; high share incinerationgrowing share biological treatment
Implementation examples (2005) – Biodegradable waste
