| (1) | Waste management in the Union should be improved, with a view to protecting, preserving and improving the quality of the environment, protecting human health, ensuring prudent and

  and
  promoting
  a more
  circular economy. |

  circular economy.

| (1) | Waste management in the Union should be improved, with a view to protecting, preserving and improving the quality of the environment, protecting human health, ensuring prudent and
  efficient
  utilisation of natural resources, promoting
  the principles of the
  circular economy
  , enhancing the diffusion of renewable energy, increasing energy efficiency, reducing the dependence of the Union on imported resources, providing new economic opportunities and long-term competitiveness. In order to make the economy truly circular, it is necessary to take additional measures on sustainable production and consumption, focusing on the whole life cycle of products in a way that preserves resources and closes the loop. Using resources more efficiently would also bring substantial net savings for Union businesses, public authorities and consumers while reducing total annual greenhouse gas emissions

Raising resource productivity through improved efficiency and reducing resource waste can greatly lower both resource consumption and greenhouse gases emissions. Therefore, circular economy should be an integral part of climate policy as it creates synergies as highlighted in the reports of the International Resource Panel. |

| (4) | Municipal waste constitutes approximately between 7 and 10 % of the total waste generated in the Union; however, this waste stream is amongst the most complex ones to manage, and the way it is managed generally gives a good indication of the quality of the overall waste management system in a country. The challenges of municipal waste management result from its highly complex and mixed composition, direct proximity of the generated waste to citizens,
  and
  a very high public visibility. As a result, its management involves a need for a highly complex waste management system including an efficient collection scheme, a need to actively engage citizens and businesses, a need for infrastructure adjusted to the specific waste composition, and an elaborate financing system. Countries which have developed efficient municipal waste management systems generally perform better in overall waste management. |
