About the project:

The project's aim is to enhance recycling and reuse activities in V4 countries by analyzing the current waste management trends and possibilities, training municipality representatives in waste reduction strategies and generating best practice examples on local level. Our approach to the waste problem is twofold: looking into the situation on a policy level and generate concrete, community-based solutions for waste reduction.

 3. Position Paper on Circular Economy Package

 

Member States of the European Union have to comply with certain waste management targets specified in the Waste Framework Directive as 50% household waste recycling and preparation for reuse by 2020. However, the Circular Economy Package first published in July 2014 and then in December 2015 contains amendments to the Directive visioning higher targets and other measurements by the year 2030. Even though the proposed numbers have decreased in 2015 compared to 2014, they still pose a great challenge to Member States already lagging behind the current legally binding targets.

Non-governmental organizations from V4 countries such as Arnika  from Czech Republic, Humusz from Hungary, Polski Klub Ekologiczny from Poland and Sosna from Slovakia looked into the situation regarding their own nation’s performance taking into consideration the potential new targets.
