Waste and Circular Economy in the European Policies
Abstract The present chapter deals with the EU waste policies in order to: outline the integrated strategies that orient the regulatory and procedural instruments, develop the infrastructure measures, finance the research, boost the market of secondary raw materials, support the improvement of production models, regulate the information flows. In order to refer the subject of waste to the wider field of the circular economy, various EU waste initiatives, communications from the Commission to the European Parliament, programmes and laws are investigated, highlighting the essential features of the evolving scenario. In particular, the Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC, considered as the fundamental legal framework for treating waste in the EU, is analyzed in order to investigate the possible strategies for the application of the waste hierarchy to the construction sector in the perspective of the circular economy.
