EU agreement will 'strengthen Europe's waste hierarchy'(Ⅱ)

Europe: The European Parliament, the Council of Ministers and the European Commission have reached a political agreement on revising EU waste processing legislation that 'will strengthen Europe's waste hierarchy by placing prevention, reuse and recycling clearly above landfilling and incineration', according to Karmenu Vella, the European commissioner in charge of environment, maritime affairs and fisheries.

Among the responses to this latest development, the European steel association Eurofer describes it as 'a step forward because it proposes a methodology measuring recycling rates when waste materials are reprocessed into new products'. However, the organisation’s director general Axel Eggert says the proposal 'only goes part of the way towards accurate, harmonised measurement of real recycling because a derogation allows member states to declare material as ''recycled'' even after an early waste sorting stage. This will give vastly different results than measuring recycling at the stage of reprocessing into new products.'

As a waste sorting system manufacturer, Qunfeng can produce waste sorting system such as waste solution equipment, waste solution system, waste recycling system, garbage sorting system, recycling sorting system.
