Veröffentlichung Effectively tackling the issue of millions of vehicles with unknown whereabouts(Umweltbundesamt, 2020) Kitazume, Christian; Kohlmeyer, Regina; Oehme, Ines; Deutschland. Umweltbundesamt6 million end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) are disposed of in the EU each year according to Eurostat statistics. However, annually, the fate of an additional 3.4 to 4.7 million deregistered vehicles is unaccounted for. A substantial share of this efflux is likely to be illegally treated or exported, thereby potentially causing environmental damage and harming European economies. To halt unauthorised treatment and illegal export of these vehicles with unknown whereabouts, an appropriate European framework for national vehicle registration systems is needed to effectively prevent leakage and intrinsically direct all ELVs into the more than 13,000 authorised treatment facilities. The certificate of destruction (CoD) as the current steering instrument under the ELV Directive 2000/53/EC can only be effective if embedded into appropriate vehicle registration/ deregistration systems. The German Environment Agency therefore recommends to complement the CoD by the following minimum requirements for national vehicle registration systems.

UmweltbundesamtIn den vergangenen 10 Jahren ist das Aufkommen von Verpackungen EU-weit um fast 18 Prozent gestiegen, wobei rund 66 Prozent der Verpackungsabfälle dem Recycling zugeführt wurden. Die Revision der Verpackungsrichtlinie sollte daher vor allem dazu beitragen, die Abfallvermeidung, die Recyclingfähigkeit von Verpackungen und den Rezyklateinsatz zu stärken und Informationsanforderungen weiter zu entwickeln. Die materiellen Anforderungen sollten in der Richtlinie selbst festgelegt werden, ergänzt durch die Möglichkeit, bei Bedarf weitergehende Anforderungen an bestimmte Verpackungsarten in nachgeordneten Rechtsakten zu regeln. In einem "Scientific Opinion Paper" legt das Umweltbundesamt hierzu ein Regelungskonzept und Empfehlungen vor.

UmweltbundesamtOver the past 10 years, the amount of packaging generated across the EU has increased by almost 18 percent, with around 66 percent of packaging waste being recycled. The revision of the Packaging Directive should therefore primarily help to strengthen waste prevention, the recyclability of packaging and the use of recyclates and further develop information requirements. Material requirements should be stipulated in the Directive itself, supplemented by the possibility to set, if necessary, more extensive requirements for certain types of packaging in downstream legal acts. In a scientific opinion paper, the German Environment Agency presents a regulatory concept and recommendations in this regard. Quelle: www.umweltbundesamt.de
