Pilot Study on Waste
January 2012
Contribution of LIFE ENV/INF projects to the implementation, dissemination and further development of EU environmental policies and legislation, focusing in particular on resource efficiency.
The present study has been prepared on joint request from the LIFE Environment and Eco-Innovation Unit and the Thematic Unit on Waste of DG Environment. The main aim of the thematic LIFE studies is to provide useful information on LIFE projects' results to thematic Units, and consequently strengthen the link between the LIFE Units in charge of the management of operational projects and Thematic Units dealing mainly with environmental policy. The scope of this study covers all LIFE projects in the waste sector, with a special focus on LIFE05 – LIFE09 projects. 126 projects have been assessed in relation to EU waste Directives; an in-depth analysis was carried out for 26 projects.
