Vote of the ENVI Committee on waste legislation - EuRIC concerned about negative impacts on competition in recycling markets
The European Parliament’s ENVI Committee voted on 24 January 2017 on hundreds of amendments tabled on the proposals reviewing the waste legislation. The vote resulted in certain improvements supported by the European Recycling Industries Confederation (EuRIC). Nevertheless, recyclers regret that overall, on key issues, the outcome of the vote will impede the shift from a linear to a circular economy, if not corrected during the vote in plenary session.
