Are your recycling quotas for MSW still accepted by the EU? >>>

The initiative will strengthen global monitoring of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and mercury to support multilateral environmental agreements.

New Eurostat data released today exposes the scale of Europe’s overconsumption of electronics and the continued failure to properly collect and recycle e-waste.

The circular economy is ready to take on more responsibility. However, it cannot simultaneously ensure system stability, make investments, and tap into new markets if political objectives, regulatory instruments, and economic realities are at odds with one another.

An option to prevent possible waste diversion from municipal waste incineration?

The World Bank Group's What a Waste 3.0 report offers the most up-to date data and statistical analytics on global solid waste management.

This briefing provides information about the interlinkages between circular economy and climate change mitigation. It is based on a literature review of recent modelling results and supports the 2025 Clean Industrial Deal and 2020 Circular Economy Action Plan.

How can our built environment become healthier, more climate-friendly, and more resource-efficient?

The carbon that is currently being downcycled does not contribute to the defossilization of the chemical industry; in fact, it is a waste of carbon.

New study exposes Europe’s hidden methane impact from landfills and the risk of making it worse through incoherent climate policy.

By recognizing all three options for defossilization (biomass, recycling, CCU) as equivalent, as well as the equivalence of mechanical and chemical recycling of plastics and biomass, the economy would have the opportunity to develop technology competition and select the most economically advantageous options.

Based on the studies reviewed in this article, it could be stated that the waste incineration represents a sink for PFAS-containing waste streams, as fewer PFAS are emitted than enter the plants.

Even if a solid assessment of GHG emissions is made, inclusion of WtE in EU-ETS is questionable before landfills for biodegradable waste are faded out Europe-wide, as it would risk to set wrong Incentives.

To investigate the behaviour of PFAS in MSW incineration, a comprehensive measurement campaign was conducted at the Schweinfurt plant (Gemeinschaftskraftwerk Schweinfurt, GKS).

A recent article details the complex web of misdeclarations and corruption that keeps the flood of Europe’s plastic waste flowing into Türkiye

If governments were to implement three key climate actions they already negotiated and agreed in 2023 they could cut global emissions by 18 billion tonnes in 2035 compared to current emission projections, according to new analysis released at COP30 today by the Climate Action Tracker.

On Thursday, Parliament endorsed reduced reporting duties and due diligence requirements for companies.

A UN Environment Programme (UNEP) assessment of available new climate pledges under the Paris Agreement finds that the predicted global temperature rise over the course of this century has only slightly fallen, leaving the world heading for a serious escalation of climate risks and damages.

In 2025, the Waste-to-Energy (WtE) sector showed stable performance, although waste volumes were still comparatively low due to a weak economy in Europe.

Swiss-based green-tech leader will contribute to critical discussions on waste management infrastructure in the Blue Zone at COP 30, the United Nations conference on climate change, which will be held in the Brazilian city of Belem on Nov. 10-21, 2025.

New Eurostat data released today exposes the scale of Europe’s overconsumption of electronics and the continued failure to properly collect and recycle e-waste.

COP 30 should be a milestone moment to boost ambition, finance and action as the world marks ten years since the Paris Agreement.

Interdisciplinary understanding is vital for delivering sound climate policy advice. However, navigating the ever-growing and increasingly diverse scholarly literature on climate change is challenging for any individual researcher. This annual synthesis highlights and explains recent advances across a variety of fields of climate change research.

As discussed inside Global WtERT Council we are now in the process of taking the small step towards the new website wasteculture.com. I am convinced that this also will help the common cause to foster WtE techniques who need more acceptance in society.

Government and industry responses to UNEP’s more than 3,500 satellite methane alerts climbed from one to 12 per cent in the past year.
