Article submitted by IAN TENNANT, PECT, on 22/06/2008 GREEN LIGHT FOR EASTEX AS NEW EU WASTE LEGISLATION SETS BINDING 2020 TARGETS FOR RE-USE! New waste legislation for the EU will include targets for re-use and recycling of waste to be attained by 2020. The legislation also requires Member States to stick to a five-stage waste hierarchy: prevention, re-use, recycling, other recovery operations and, as a last resort, safe and environmentally sound disposal. This is designed to prevent and reduce waste production – and should be treated "as a priority order" rather than what is often currently seen as a "guiding principle". What is more, there are specific targets for re-use and recycling of commercial waste (i.e. 70% of non-hazardous construction and demolition waste by 2020). All of this is great news for re-use schemes like the Materials Exchange as there are currently few regulatory drivers or targets explicitly for commercial re-use or recycling. Viva la Eastex!!!
