Proposal for a directive
Recital 7
Recital 7
(7) Member States should put in place adequate incentives for the application of the waste hierarchy, in particular, by means of financial incentives aimed at achieving the waste prevention and recycling objectives of this Directive, such as landfill and incineration charges, pay as you throw schemes, extended producer responsibility schemes and incentives for local authorities. They should also take appropriate simplification measures to promote charitable donations of food or non-food products that can no longer be sold.

Recital 10
Recital 10
(10) Waste prevention is the most efficient way to improve resource efficiency and to reduce the environmental impact of waste. It is important therefore that Member States: - take appropriate measures to prevent waste generation and, in particular by promoting public awareness-raising campaigns and by taking education- and training-related anti-waste measures concerning also reuse, recycling and eco- design, in addition to measures to support business experience in the circular economy, also through charitable donations of food or non-food products that can no longer be sold; - monitor and assess progress in the implementation of such measures. In order to ensure a uniform measurement of the overall progress in the implementation of waste prevention measures, common indicators should be established.

Recital 13 a (new)
Recital 13 a (new)
(13a) Improper disposal of waste through littering and discharges of sewage and solid waste, like plastic, have detrimental impacts on the marine environment and human health, as well as significant economic and social costs. Such waste also subverts the priority order of the waste hierarchy, in particular by avoiding preparation for re-use, recycling and other recovery prior to disposal. Given the transboundary nature of marine litter and the need to ensure harmonisation in efforts, Member States should take measures to achieve a target for their reduction, utilising monitoring protocols established under Article 11 of Directive 2008/56/EC.

Recital 14 a (new)
(14a) The transition towards a circular economy must seek to achieve the smart, sustainable and inclusive growth goals set out in the Europe 2020 strategy, with particular reference to the targets relating to environmental protection, the shift to clean energy sources, sustainable local development and increased employment in the Member States. The development of a circular economy should, accordingly, also promote the involvement of entities such as small and medium-sized enterprises, social economy enterprises, non-profit institutions and waste management bodies that operate regionally and locally, in order to improve their overall management, foster innovation in processes and products and develop employment in the areas concerned.
Amendment 290 #

Recital 14 b (new)
Recital 14 b (new)
(14b) Small and medium-sized enterprises, social economy enterprises, non-profit institutions and regional and local operators can play an important role in the collection, reuse and processing of waste. Member States should therefore adopt all the necessary measures, including regulatory and financial incentives, to encourage the involvement of these entities in the transition towards a circular economy, in particular by promoting the participation of social economy operators and compliance with social clauses in public procurement, and promoting the development of the latter also through EU funding programmes.
