Germany to push recycling ahead of "thirsty" EfW plants
A move towards boosting the role of recycling in the face of pressures to burn waste for energy has been signalled by the German government as it heads towards accepting a waste hierarchy that puts recycling above energy from waste. And, Germany, which currently holds the Presidency of the EU, has also said that it would like to see a move towards "high quality recycling" across Europe. This could lead to the UK requiring more separate collections of waste paper from households.
The German announcement in Berlin concerning the revision of the EU Waste Framework Directive comes as the UK’s paper sector is supporting the Campaign for Clean Recycling, whose aims includes getting paper collected separately from households.
