How can calculation methods affect a common EU target for municipal waste recycling?
Original language description
The paper discusses municipal waste strategies for approaching the European Union (EU) recycling targets that were set out in the Commission Decision (2011/753/EU) focused on establishing rules and calculation methods for these targets. We analyse the calculation of recycling targets for municipal waste in 2010–2015 by using four calculation methods for the EU member states. We try to assess the differences in interpretations of the EU municipal waste (MW) definitions and the impact that the different recycling rate calculation methods may have on final recycling figures. We discuss significant inconsistencies in the data collection methods as well as interpretations of the definition of MW used to support the decision of the European Parliament from 14 March 2017 claiming that the calculation of recycled MW should be based on one harmonised method that would prevent member states from reporting scrap as recycled waste.
