Guidance on Making the Circular Economy Work (2019)
This guidance document, prepared for regulators, focuses on the circular economy, particularly how to apply existing EU environmental, chemical, and product laws to promote circular innovations. The document explains key EU legislation like the Waste Framework Directive (WFD), Waste Shipment Regulation (WSR), and REACH, providing detailed annexes for each. It highlights the challenges regulators face in facilitating circular innovations, such as assessing end-of-waste status and navigating complex regulations. Practical tools are included to support regulators in these areas, including a proposed database for end-of-waste decisions. The document also emphasizes the needs and concerns of innovative businesses in the circular economy. It provides insights into how regulators can support businesses by providing access to information, clarifying regulations, and fostering a more coherent approach across the EU. Finally, the document explores the problem of plastic waste, summarizing EU policies and illustrating a more circular use of plastics.

Ръководство и инструменти
Ръководство "Осъществяване на кръговата икономика
Решаващ елемент в прехода към кръгова икономика са иновациите в производствените и рециклиращите съоръжения, които целят ефективно използване на ресурсите, предотвратяване на образуването на отпадъци и използване на производствени остатъци или материали, извлечени от отпадъци, като вторични суровини. Ключово условие за осъществяването на тези кръгови иновации е по-доброто свързване на политиката, законодателството и регулирането по места. Настоящото ръководство е разработено в подкрепа на регулаторите, политиците и законодателите и предприятията при създаването на условия за осъществяване на такива иновации и при преодоляването на някои от общосподелените предизвикателства.
Докладът съдържа протокола от конференцията MIW&IMPEL, на която беше представено “Ръководство за регулатори за създаване на условия за иновации за кръгова икономика (предотвратяване и рециклиране на отпадъци)”
Ръководство за инспекции на депа за отпадъци (преработена версия от 2016 г.)
Ако една инспекция на депо за отпадъци трябва да обхваща различни теми. Въз основа на проекта на IMPEL’за депата за отпадъци, екипът за инспекции реши да избере определени теми, върху които да се съсредоточи настоящото ръководство, а именно:
(1) Критерии и процедури за приемане на отпадъци.
(2) Контрол на газовете.
(3) Опазване на почвата и водите (подземни води).
(4) Контрол на водите и управление на промивните ядра.
Настоящото ръководство съдържа за всеки от горепосочените предмети кратко описание, включително изискванията на Директивата за депониране на отпадъци по отношение на тази дейност. На второ място са дадени препратки към (познати) съществуващи ръководства и инструменти в държавите - членки на ЕС.
