The European recycling industry is facing a profound crisis. In addition to increasing competition from cheaper primary raw materials and low-cost recycled materials from third countries pursuing aggressive trade policies, the sectors competitiveness is further undermined by the growing number of battery fires that destroy recycling facilities or make them extremely difficult to insure.

What they argued
The inclusion of thermal waste treatment plants in the EU ETS from 2028 onwards is rejected as regulatory disincentives, to the detriment of the implementation of the waste hierarchy, to avoid energy supply and heat transition; a differentiated approach is necessary. Isolated exposure to thermal waste treatment plants would undermine the waste hierarchy and shift flows towards landfilling.

The VOEB - Association of Austrian Waste Management Companies - would like to express its gratitude for the opportunity to comment on the European Commission's new Draft Implementing Decision for the implementation of Directive (EU) 2019/904 (SUPD) - please find our Statement attached.
The Association of Austrian Waste Management Companies (VOEB) welcomes the European Commission’s initiative to establish harmonised EU-wide end-of-waste criteria for plastics on the basis of the Waste Framework Directive. These are essential for the creation of a strong internal market for recyclates.
