Big potential of cutting greenhouse gases from waste: There is a big potential to cut greenhouse gases (GHGs) from municipal solid waste management, according to a new report from the European Environment Agency (EEA). The report, 'Waste opportunities – Past and future climate benefits from better municipal waste management in Europe', covers the EU-27 (excluding Cyprus), Norway and Switzerland. It estimates that these countries could make GHG savings of up to 78 million tonnes carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2-e) by 2020, or 1.53 % of Europe's emissions in 2008.

Municipal waste generation (CSI 016/waste 001) - Assessment published Nov 2010: An important objective of EU policy is to decouple waste generation from economic growth. The evidence shows that for Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) generation, which is around 10 % of the total waste generated in the EU, levels have stabilised after 2000 at a high level of 520 kg/capita, despite the economic growth. However, the objective to reduce generation of waste has not been achieved yet for Municipal Solid Waste.

Generation and recycling of packaging waste - outlook EEA (Outlook 035) - Assessment published Jun 2007: In the EU-15, most packaging waste streams are not expected to decouple significantly from GDP. The packaging waste generation is expected to continue to grow across Europe (50% by 2020 as compare to the year 2000). The policy target of absolute decoupling is unlikely to be met. This might lead to an increase in environmental pressures and stretch the waste management capabilities of countries with less developed infrastructure. The economic situation in Europe has a significant impact on packaging waste streams.
