Ħarsa ġenerali
Il-politika tal-UE dwar l-iskart għandha l-għan li tikkontribwixxi għall-ekonomija ċirkolari billi tikseb riżorsi ta’ kwalità għolja mill-iskart kemm jista’ jkun. Il-Patt Ekoloġiku Ewropew għandu l-għan li jippromwovi t-tkabbir billi jgħaddi għal ekonomija moderna, effiċjenti fir-riżorsi u kompetittiva. Bħala parti minn din it-tranżizzjoni, diversi liġijiet tal-UE dwar l-iskart se jiġu riveduti.
Id-Direttiva Qafas dwar l-Iskart hija l-qafas legali tal-UE għat-trattament u l-ġestjoni tal-iskart fl-UE. Din tintroduċi ordni ta’ preferenza għall-ġestjoni tal-iskart imsejħa l-“ġerarkija tal-iskart”.
Ċerti kategoriji ta’ skart jeħtieġu approċċi speċifiċi. Għalhekk, minbarra l-qafas legali ġenerali, l-UE għandha ħafna liġijiet biex tindirizza tipi differenti ta’ skart.
