The Council adopted today (20.10.08) a directive setting a revised framework for waste management in the EU, aimed at encouraging re-use and recycling of waste as well as at simplifying current legislation. By promoting the use of waste as a secondary resource, the new directive is intended to reduce the landfill of waste as well as potent greenhouse gases arising from such landfill sites. |
