Abstract eng:
The Position Paper focuses on industrial and commercial waste and on residues from incineration plants, and presents four major challenges: waste quantities, recycling, hazardous waste, and environmental contaminants. Seven priority areas are suggested for special initiatives to meet the challenges, with special focus on:

Sectors with hazardous waste and environmental contaminants in waste, possible introduction of national requirements for management of contaminated waste - for instance electronic products, scrap iron and metal waste, impregnated wood and PVC.

The waste tax instrument must be used even more actively to reduce waste quantities, and waste must be considered more as discharge. The market for waste and the development of recovering technologies must be strengthened, and recycling of waste suitable for incineration must be increased.

 

Resumé dan:
Debatoplægget fokuserer særligt på erhvervsaffaldet og på restprodukterne fra affaldsforbrændingsanlæggene og beskriver fire væsentlige udfordringer for dette; mængderne, genanvendelsen, det farlige affald og de miljøbelastende stoffer. Der udpeges syv indsatsområder, hvor der foreslås igangsat særlige initiativer til at imødekomme udfordringerne. Der sættes fokus på:

Brancher med farligt og miljøbelastende affald og muligheden for at lave nationale krav til håndtering af miljøbelastende affald - som fx. elektroniske produkter, jern- og skrotaffald, imprægneret træ og PVC.

Affaldsafgiften skal bruges endnu mere aktivt til at begrænse affaldsmængderne og affald skal i større grad betragtes som en udledning. Afsætningsmuligheder for affald og udviklingen af genvindingsteknologier skal styrkes og genanvendelse af forbrændingsegnet affald skal øges.
