IEA bioenergy Task 36 is preparing a report about trends in waste management.
Within the waste hierarchy, waste-to-energy (WtE) conversion of municipal solid waste (MSW) is preferred before landfilling.
The upcoming report discusses both trends impacting solid waste management systems within EU countries, as well as alternative thermal treatment technology opportunities.

The Swedish government has recently decided to introduce changes in regulation regarding producer responsibility for packaging and newspaper waste.
The message is clear, anyone who would like to recycle these wastes should be able to do it easily. Packaging and newspaper producers will take full financial responsibility for providing easier and more accessible household waste collection systems.
