The Council of Ministers of 5 March 2020, on the proposal of the Minister for European Affairs and the Environment and for the Protection of the Territory and the Sea, approved, in preliminary examination, four legislative decrees implementing European directives on waste, landfills and end-of-life vehicles that are part of the so-called “circular economy package”, adopted by the European Union in July 2018 with the aim of bringing recycling of municipal waste to at least 55% by 2025, 60% by 2030 and 65% by 2035. In parallel, the use of landfills will decrease, which by 2035 must be less than 10%. The sectors taken into consideration by the provision are those relating to waste batteries, accumulators and electrical and electronic equipment, end-of-life vehicles, waste landfills and packaging and packaging waste which extends the liability regime to the producer.
