Waste prevention in Europe - The status in 2013
The Waste Framework Directive sets a legal obligation for European Union (EU) Member States to adopt waste prevention programmes by 12 December 2013.
The European Environment Agency (EEA) has been asked to review the progress of the 'completion and implementation of the programmes' annually (EU, 2008).
This report presents a first review of waste prevention programmes across Europe.
