The plastic waste trade in the circular economy
Europe is at crossroads regarding its management of plastic, plastic waste and the plastic waste trade. Rapidly growing amounts of plastic have negative environmental and climate impacts. Plastic and plastic waste are traded worldwide. Exporting plastic waste from the EU to Asia is a means of dealing with insufficient recycling capacities in the EU. Waste… Continue reading The plastic waste trade in the circular economy
Reducing loss of resources from waste management is key to strengthening the circular economy in Europe
Waste from electrical and electronic equipment Technological change drives the continuous substitution of electrical and electronic equipment. The amount of waste (WEEE, also called e-waste) is steadily increasing and is one of the fastest growing waste streams in Europe. The amount of WEEE generated in Europe is over 10 million tonnes per year, roughly 40 %… Continue reading Reducing loss of resources from waste management is key to strengthening the circular economy in Europe

IPCC report highlights need for collective and significant action to keep warming below 2°C
14/04/2014The latest report by the United Nations scientific panel on climate change shows that collective and significant global action is needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to keep global warming below 2°C. The report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says that the longer we wait, the more expensive and technologically challenging meeting this goal will be.
Connie Hedegaard, EU Commissioner for Climate Action, said: ''The report is clear: there really is no plan B for climate change. There is only plan A: collective action to reduce emissions now. And since we need first movers to set a plan into motion, we in Europe will adopt an ambitious 2030 target later this year. Now the question is: when will YOU, the big emitters, do the same? The more you wait, the more it will cost. The more you wait, the..

Vast majority of road transport fuels meet strict EU quality rules – Commission report
01/02/2017The vast majority of fuels used on Europe's roads meet the EU's strict quality rules, a new report by the European Commission shows.
Fuels used for road transport in the EU have to meet strict quality requirements to protect health and the environment and make sure that vehicles can safely travel from one country to another.
The Commission's report focuses on the quality of petrol and diesel used for road transport in the EU in 2014 and 2015.
It concludes that the internal market for transport fuels is functioning well and EU policies achieve a high level of environmental and health related protection.
The vast majority of fuels are in line with the specifications laid down in the Fuel Quality Directive.
Member States continuously improve the monitoring and reporting of fuel quality, with sampling becoming more complete and robu..
