| Background |
| |
| The European Waste List (EWL) is a basic nomenclature
for defining a collective terminology. At present it contains 839
types of waste. |
| |
| The list of wastes and respectively the national lists
of wastes are used in different applying contexts that are in each
case affiliated with varying goals. Thereby the question arises if
the single goals can really be reached within reasonable time and
effort with the current system. |
| |
| |
| Objectives and tasks |
| |
| Ökopol has been assigned by the Austrian
BLFUW to develop recommendations for the advancement of the current
system of the European Waste List. In this connexion the present starting
position in the Member States shall be considered as well as perspectives
of possible future development and orientation towards the implementation
from different perspectives and fields of application. |
| |
| Within the scope of the study Ökopol
will check the used lists of wastes in the EU Member States plus the
guidance documents and analyse them for chosen States. After a first
systematic analysis the main problems of the Member States in using
the EWL will be identified. Furthermore a feasibility check will be
carried out for selected lists of wastes in order to identify strengths
and weaknesses by means of a systematic presentation. |
| |
| Conclusions, meaning a consolidated presentation
of the challenging points and possible perspectives for solutions,
will be introduced and discussed at a workshop. |
