Below we present the peer-reviewed calculation tool that allows for all interested stakeholders to get an estimation of the need for residual waste treatment (e.g. energy recovery) once the Circular Economy targets for 2035 ℹ are fulfilled.
CEWEP hopes that a basic understanding of these waste weight shifts will allow for a productive discussion on the future of sustainable waste treatment in Europe, the necessary investments and the future outcomes of the decisions that are taken today.
Despite the wide variations of scenarios and outcomes provided by the tool, one thing remains clear: residual waste will still need to be treated in 2035.
