The Resource efficiency Roadmap (RER)

Part of the Resource Efficiency flagship

Articulating several policy areas and initiatives

Released 20/09/2011 as a non legislative document

Setting a vision for 2050

A key principle:

Decoupling resource consumption and environmental impacts from

What place for Waste in RER?

Preeminent!A dedicated section 3.2 « turning waste into a resource »+ Several mentions and references all along the report 

1- Waste avoidance:« residual waste close to 0 », « avoiding waste », « industrial symbiosis »,« waste generated per capita in absolute decline », « reuse », « reduced food waste »…

2- Waste recycling:

« products…easily …recycled », « higher priority …to recycling »,« circular economy », C&D « higher waste recycling»…

3- Waste policy implementation:« eradicate illegal waste », combat …breaches of EU waste rules »,

« ensure full implementation of the EU waste acquis »…

4- Waste disposal is absent!By 2050, « Energy recovery is limited to non recyclable materials »,

« landfilling is virtually eliminated »

+ R&D for waste, new governance for waste (supply chain) and sectoral approaches (minerals, marine litter, food waste, C&D waste)

3 areas of concern:1. The ways to cover the loopholes in waste policy implementation

2. How to fill the gaps between « advanced » and « non-advanced countries »3. A brand new waste hierarchy, but, is it enforceable ?

Contributing to better enforcement

Minimise substandard activities and lever fair competition 

Push for peer pressure in waste sector

Involve civil society for enforcement (training,pre-screening activities for local inspection)

Require high quality operation (BAT,standards)

Refine legislative formulation as needed(objectives, «equivalent conditions»)

End of life at upstream stage!

Ecodesign of productsE.g: regulating the hazardouscontents and recyclability

(RoHS, REACH, EuP, ELV)+Individual producer responsibilityE.g: providing incentives for

optimised design (longevity,repairability, upgreadability,ecotoxicity, …(WEEE)

+DematerializationE.g: leasing schemes, communityshared equipement
