Lebensmittelverschwendung als Herausforderung für das europäische Abfallrecht
The legislative proposal for the European Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EG (WFD), published by the European Commission in December 2015, has yet not fully recognized the importance of food waste within a sustainable resource management. Provisions concerning the prevention of food waste fall short in comparison with the 30 % reduction goal that was at first proposed within the Circular Economy Package in July 2014. So far, the envisaged changes of Art. 9 and 29 WFD do not succeed in drafting a „new, more ambitious proposal“.
