  • The Key Policy Framework Instruments
    1 2 3 The key policy framework instruments are: Thematic strategy on the prevention and recycling of waste, COM(2005) 666 final -sets as long-term goal for the EU to become a recycling society that seeks to avoid waste and uses waste as a resource: -It set 7 actions how to reach these objectives, for example, step up enforcement, modernise waste legislation, develop recycling standards and improve prevention. -The Strategy played an important role in guiding policy development and has contributed to significant improvement in waste management. 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.

Arguments such as 4 health, depletion of resources, cost, noise, odours, traffic movement and house prices 5 are often cited as reasons against the development of such facilities. This study aims 6 to review the arguments and identify any effect on property prices due to the public 7 perception of the plant. A selection of existing energy from waste (EfW) facilities in 8 the UK, operational for at least 7 years, was selected and property sales data, within 5 9 km of the sites, was acquired and analysed in detail. The locations of the properties 10 were calculated in relation to the plant using GIS software (ArcGIS) and the distances 11 split into 5 zones ranging from 0-5 km from the site. The local property sale prices, 12 normalised against the local house price index, were compared in two time periods, 13 before and after the facility became operational, across each of the 5 zones.

Clean-up means treating or removing contamination from leaks or spills on or around the site. The final stages of decommissioning and clean-up will involve managing large amounts of radioactive waste, as well as other conventional waste. Waste with higher levels of radioactivity will need to be moved into secure stores, where it will be kept safely under supervision, until dedicated disposal facilities can be constructed. Most nuclear sites already have well established programmes for this. Most of the waste from decommissioning and clean-up will have only relatively low levels of radioactivity. Much of this waste will be made up of things like demolition rubble, scrap metal, foundations, drains and pipelines, or soil. All of this waste will need to be managed safely, and disposed of somewhere suitable. This might be on the site that produced the waste, or after transport to another site. The Environment Agency, Natural Resources Wales, and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency have a duty to protect members of the public and the environment from harm from radioactive substances.
