A new framework for waste management in the EU

Dear All

This is just to inform you about the revised EU framework for waste management (doc. 3646/08) launched on the 20th October 2008 that repeals the current waste framework directive (2006/12/EC), the directive on hazardous waste (91/689/EEC) and part of the directive on waste oils (75/439/EEC).

The new legislation also considers energy efficient waste incineration into the 5 step hierarchy of waste management options.

Please click here to download the directive in PDF format.

Regards

Abhi
