10 Oct 2023 --- The European Parliament’s Waste Framework Directive rapporteur has proposed postponing targets for food waste prevention by several years in a move that has frustrated environmental campaigners. The recently released draft report also suggests changing the definition of “recycling” to include energy recovery. Zero Waste Europe has dismissed the proposal by the rapporteur to label waste-to-fuel as “recycling” as “truly bizarre.” In general, the circular economy organization recommends sorting waste before stabilization (material recovery and biological treatment).
