Legislative provisions
Art.29 of ‘New Waste Framework Directive’
3 Member States shall determine
appropriate qualitative and quantitative
benchmarks for waste prevention measures
adopted in order to monitor & assess progress
of the measures and... may determine specific
qualitative or quantitative targets and
indicators.
“Systematic research into the waste
prevention activity performances and the
underlying processess and methods of one or
more leading reference bodies in a certain
field, and the comparison of one‟s own
performance and operating methods with these
„best practices’, with the goal of locating and
improving one’s own performance”
Benchmarking?
To have a quantitative European reference
Transfer successful know-how, concepts
and instruments
Compare cities and regions programmes,
including quantitative data
A flexible measuring tool taking into
account differing realities
Focuses on continual improvement.
