Landfill Directive

The Landfill Directive is a European Union regulation aimed at reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills. It sets strict limits on the types and amounts of waste that can be landfilled, encourages recycling, and promotes waste prevention. The directive requires member countries to develop waste management plans and targets for reducing biodegradable waste in landfills. Its goal is to protect the environment by minimizing landfill usage, reducing pollution, and promoting more sustainable practices in waste disposal and management. This helps to preserve natural resources and support a circular economy.
