In December 2015, one year after withdrawing the first Circular Economy package, the Juncker Commission published a broader and more ambitious proposal with revised targets and harmonized calculation methods for recycling. In parallel, the European Commission is still working on the Energy Union, a strategy that is the core of the institution’s work in which Waste-to-Energy will play a role. Finally, the Commission will publish a communication focused on Waste-to-Energy aiming to explore the opportunities offered by Waste-to-Energy, particularly with regard to synergies between resource and energy efficiencies by the end of 2016.
The new Commission proposal is a positive step towards a circular economy. It proposes more realistic targets and introduces new elements ensuring a proper implementation. All these features make room for the important role of the Waste-to-Energy (incineration with energy recovery) sector.
