EU agreement will 'strengthen Europe's waste hierarchy'(Ⅱ)
Feb. 26, 2018
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.
