The Roadmap to a Resource Efficient Europe (COM(2011) 571) •outlines how to transform Europe's economy into a sustainable one by 2050, how to increase resource productivity and decouple economic growth from resource use and its environmental impact. It illustrates how policies interrelate and build on each other. •It sets various actions (2012-2014) to be taken by the Commission to treat waste as a resource, including the review of the waste targets 7th Environmental Action Programme, 2013 – 2020 - Puts focus to turning waste into a resource including by phasing out landfilling. Action Plan towards Circular economy •Waste management plays a central role in the transition to a circular economy. The plan requires the Commission to take measures: •Revise waste targets (proposal adopted in December 2015); step up enforcement; communication on waste to energy (adopted in January 2017); disseminate good practices on 4 separate collection (specific study available on DG Environment website). 4 5 EU waste legislation objectives are defined in Article of the Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC: • Waste prevention – has been and continues to be the first and most important objective of the EU waste management policy.
