Circular Economy: Environmental and Waste Management . . . End-of-waste criteria (JRC further exploratory studies) Study on methodological aspects regarding limit values for pollutants in aggregates (completed): Quality and safety of fertilisers made from waste or residues
Modelling plastic product flows and recycling in the EU - JRC . . . Studies estimate that only an amount between 3 5-5 6 Mt of recyclates is currently directed back into products The objective of the present study is to improve the quality of data and the modelling of plastics mass flows in Europe
Can the plastics sector become more sustainable? Improved plastic waste collection and sorting would reduce plastic losses to the environment, enhance recycling and ultimately promote a more circular value chain The study highlights that combining mechanical and chemical recycling could prove fundamental
JRC Publications - Environmental and economic assessment . . . This study provides a comparative environmental and economic assessment of plastic waste recycling and energy recovery (incineration) technologies, using actual plant data complemented with external information The recycling technologies include mechanical, physical and chemical recycling
