Aim
Every year two billion tonnes of waste is produced in EUmember countries
Neither stockpiling nor destroying are proper solutions
The best practice is to prevent the production of wasteby recycling with available economical and ecologicalmethods
EU waste management policies aim to reduce theenvironmental and health impacts of waste and improve
Europes resource efficiency. The long-term goal is to turn Europe into a recycling
society, avoiding waste and using unavoidable waste asa resource wherever possible.

EUs Waste Management Policy
EU waste policy has evolved 30 years through a series ofenvironmental action plans and a framework of legislation,
The EUs Sixth Environmental Action Programmme(2002-
2012) identified waste prevention and management as one offour top priorites,
Primary objective of this action is to ensure economic growththat does not lead to more and more waste
The EU waste management policy is based on the revised
version of Waste Framework Directive All these aim in recycling 50% of municipal waste and 70% of
construction waste in EU mamber states by 2020.

Five Step Waste Hierarchy
This directive introduces a five step waste hierarchy
Good waste management starts with preventing
waste being produced
Re-use involves repeated use of products andcomponents for the same purpose
Recycling reduces the amount of waste that ends up in landfill sites while cutting
down on the material amount needed from the enviorenment
Modern waste incineration plants can be used to produce electricity, steam and
heating for buildings.
Landfill is the least desirable option since it may produce methane(greenhouse gas),
soil and groundwater pollution etc.

EU member states are responsible for obeying these legislations and there
are cases where memeber states are punished.
