EU Parliament backs ambitious recycling targets, under legislation on waste and the circular economy, adopted on Wednesday.

 

Improving waste management will not only benefit the environment, climate, and human health. The four pieces of legislation are also part of a shift in EU policy towards a circular economy, i.e. a system where the value of products, materials and resources is maintained in the economy for as long as possible.
