Prehľad
Politika EÚ v oblasti odpadov si kladie za cieľ prispievať k obehovému hospodárstvu tým, že sa budú z odpadu v maximálnej možnej miere získavať vysoko kvalitné zdroje. Zámerom Zelenej dohody pre Európu je podporovať rast prechodom na moderné konkurencieschopné hospodárstvo efektívne využívajúce zdroje. V rámci tohto prechodu sa preskúma niekoľko právnych predpisov EÚ o odpadoch.
Právnym rámcom EÚ pre spracovanie odpadov a nakladanie s nimi v EÚ je rámcová smernica o odpadoch. Zavádza takzvanú „hierarchiu priorít nakladania s odpadmi” alebo poradie, v akom sa s odpadmi nakladá.
Určité kategórie odpadov vyžadujú špecifický prístup. Preto EÚ okrem zastrešujúceho právneho rámca disponuje aj mnohými predpismi, ktoré sa týkajú rôznych druhov odpadu.
Ciele
Cieľom politiky EÚ v oblasti odpadov je chrániť životné prostredie a ľudské zdravie a uľahčovať prechod EÚ na obehové hospodárstvo. Stanovuje zámery a ciele s cieľom
- zlepšiť nakladanie s odpadmi,
- podporiť inovácie v oblasti recyklácie,
- obmedziť skládkovanie.
