CEWEP

Waste-to-Energy (WtE) is an essential public-service infrastructure that safely treats residual, non-recyclable waste, supports high recycling quality by removing contaminants, and recovers materials and energy that would otherwise be lost. Like this, the waste we generate is returned to the economy not only as secondary raw materials, but also as energy.

CEWEP (Confederation of European Waste-to-Energy Plants) would like to highlight the important role of Waste-to-Energy (WtE) in supporting the decarbonisation of Energy Intensive industries (EIIs), particularly through the supply of industrial heat. Waste incineration with energy recovery (WtE) is a proven method for treating non-recyclable residual waste from households, commerce, and industry.

CEWEP is the European umbrella association representing operators of Waste-to-Energy (WtE) facilities across Europe. Its members provide essential services by treating non-recyclable waste in a safe manner, recovering energy in the form of electricity, heat and steam, and enabling the recovery of secondary raw materials, including metals and mineral fractions from incinerator bottom ash (IBA).

CEWEP - Confederation of European Waste-to-Energy Plants represents owners and operators of European Waste-to-Energy plants. Waste-to-Energy (WtE) is an essential public-service infrastructure that treats residual, non-recyclable waste, supports high recycling quality by removing contaminants and treating residues from the recycling process, and recovers materials and energy that would otherwise be lost.

CEWEP Contribution to the Call for Evidence Renewable energy – legal framework after 2030 Energy efficiency – legal framework after 2030 General remarks CEWEP (Confederation of European Waste-to-Energy Plants) is the European umbrella association representing operators of Waste-to-Energy (WtE) plants across Europe.

We would like to underline the importance of ensuring consistency between the SFDR and other pillars of the EU sustainable finance framework, particularly the EU Taxonomy Regulation. The current ambiguity in the interpretation of the Do No Significant Harm (DNSH) criteria, specifically as it applies to Waste-to-Energy (WtE), is creating uncertainty for financial market participants, discouraging private investment…

CEWEP welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback on the draft delegated act establishing common rules for calculating, verifying and reporting on recycled plastic content in single-use plastic beverage bottles.

CEWEP welcomes this proposal by the Commission and would like to stress in the attached document the principles that should be followed when drafting rules to calculate recycled content: Any waste treatment operation should be regulated under EU waste legislation. Reprocessing of waste into fuels is an energy recovery operation.

CEWEP welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the call for evidence on the upcoming initiative on a CO market and infrastructure in the EU. The Waste-to-Energy (WtE) sector is ready to contribute to ensure that this framework delivers on Europes climate and circular economy objectives.

CEWEP supports a simplified, proportionate and coherent application of the DNSH principle across EU funding instruments. At the same time, experience with current implementation shows that insufficiently differentiated interpretations risk creating unintended barriers to investments necessary to achieve EU environmental, energy and climate objectives.

CEWEP represents around 500 Waste-to-Energy (WtE) facilities across Europe that safely treat around 100 Mt of non-recyclable waste each year while recovering energy and materials. These plants generate about 43 TWh of electricity and 99 TWh of heat annually, supplying energy to roughly 37 million citizens. In 2019, this displaced an estimated 13.8 bn m³ of natural gasabout 9 % of Russian imports that year.

CEWEP, Confederation of European Waste-to-Energy Plants, is the umbrella association of the operators of Waste-to-Energy (incineration with energy recovery) plants in Europe. Our members are committed to ensuring high environmental standards, achieving low emissions and maintaining state of the art energy production from remaining waste that cannot be recycled in a sustainable way. CEWEP contribution attached.

CEWEP, the Confederation of European Waste-to-Energy Plants, welcomes the inclusion of sludges from mono-incineration and incinerator bottom ashes (IBA) originating from municipal, industrial, or commercial waste incineration in the list of waste streams considered to have high potential for the recovery of critical raw materials (CRMs). These residues represent a valuable secondary source of raw materials.

CEWEP, the Confederation of European Waste-to-Energy Plants, is the umbrella organization representing both private and public owners and operators of Waste-to-Energy plants across Europe. Its members are committed to promoting sustainable waste management, recovering energy from non-recyclable waste, providing reliable energy to homes and industries, and contributing to the EU's circular economy and climate goals.

CEWEP, the Confederation of European Waste-to-Energy Plants, together with the European Cylinder Makers Association (ECMA) and FEAD welcome the European Commissions proposal for a REACH restriction on nitrous oxide (N2O). Our associations have been closely monitoring the evolution of this dossier and recognise the Commissions commitment to risk-proportionate regulatory action.
