This project builded on the results and products from the previous landfill projects and was moving through the waste hierarchy steps, in order to support the implementation of key EU environmental policies, including the New Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP), he amended Waste Framework Directive (Directive (EU) 2018/851), and the objectives outlined in the Environmental Compliance and Governance Forum (2020–2022).
At the heart of this project was the ambition to support the European Green Deal by accelerating the transition to a circular economy. This includes reducing waste generation, improving recycling, and promoting sustainable production and consumption models. To achieve these goals, the project focused on developing guidance documents and fostering cooperation between Member States to implement harmonised waste management practices and legislation.
