EU Commission wants more efforts on recycling  

The European Commission published an Early Warning Report last week.  

The "Early Warning Report" concludes that 18 EU Member States, i.e. the majority, will not reach the recycling targets of the EU Municipal and Packaging Waste Directive for 2025. 

The targets are set out in the Waste Framework Directive and the Directive on Packaging and Packaging Waste. 

The European Commission urges Member States to promote recycling and provides recommendations and examples of how this can be done. 

Only Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Slovenia are on track to meet the 2025 targets.
