Orientări și instrumente
Orientări pentru ca economia circulară să funcționeze
Un element crucial în tranziția către economia circulară îl reprezintă inovațiile la nivelul instalațiilor de producție și reciclare care vizează eficiența resurselor, prevenirea deșeurilor și utilizarea reziduurilor de producție sau a materialelor recuperate din deșeuri ca materii prime secundare. O condiție esențială pentru ca aceste inovații circulare să funcționeze este o mai bună conectare a politicilor, legislației și reglementărilor pe teren. Prezentul ghid a fost elaborat pentru a sprijini autoritățile de reglementare, factorii de decizie politică și legislativă și întreprinderile în facilitarea și realizarea acestor inovații și pentru a face față unora dintre provocările comune.
Raportul conține procesul-verbal al Conferinței MIW&IMPEL, în cadrul căreia a fost lansat “Ghidul pentru autoritățile de reglementare privind facilitarea inovațiilor pentru economia circulară (prevenirea și reciclarea deșeurilor)”

Ghid pentru inspectarea depozitelor de deșeuri (versiune revizuită 2016)
Deoarece o inspecție la un depozit de deșeuri trebuie să acopere diferite subiecte. Pe baza proiectului IMPEL’privind depozitele de deșeuri, echipa de inspecție a decis să aleagă anumite subiecte pe care să se concentreze pentru acest ghid, și anume:
(1) Criterii și proceduri pentru acceptarea deșeurilor.
(2) Controlul gazelor.
(3) Protecția solului și a apei (ape subterane).
(4) Controlul apei și gestionarea apelor de levigare.
Acest ghid conține, pentru fiecare dintre subiectele menționate mai sus, o scurtă descriere, inclusiv cerințele Directivei privind depozitele de deșeuri referitoare la această activitate. În al doilea rând, se face referire la ghidurile și instrumentele (cunoscute) existente în statele membre ale UE.
