Ülevaade
ELi jäätmepoliitika eesmärk on panustada ringmajandusse, ammutades jäätmetest võimalikult palju kvaliteetseid ressursse. Euroopa rohelise kokkuleppe eesmärk on edendada majanduskasvu, kaasaegsele, ressursitõhusale ja konkurentsivõimelisele majandusele ülemineku teel. Selle ülemineku osana vaadatakse läbi mitmed ELi jäätmeseadused.
Jäätmete raamdirektiiv on ELi õiguslik raamistik jäätmete käitlemiseks ja käitlemiseks ELis. See kehtestab jäätmekäitluse eelisjärjekorra, mida nimetatakse jäätmehierarhiaks.
Teatud jäätmekategooriad nõuavad spetsiifilist lähenemist. Seetõttu on EL lisaks üldisele õigusraamistikule loonud ka palju eri liiki jäätmeid käsitlevaid seadusi.
