This is particularly important when these concerns arise from the use of recycled materials or substances derived from waste. The end-of-waste status intends to assist in addressing exactly these aspects.<\/p>\n<p>The responsibility of providing evidence to support the self-declared end-of-waste status lies with the recycler. However, there are substantial uncertainties surrounding how to determine the level of safety required, and what legal certainty it offers recyclers and users of recycled materials.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\" style=\"height:30px;\"><\/div><style>.vcex-heading.vcex_69e92acace173{font-size:22px;font-weight:600;}<\/style><h2 class=\"vcex-heading vcex-heading-plain vcex-module wpex-heading wpex-text-2xl vcex_69e92acace173\"><span class=\"vcex-heading-inner wpex-inline-block\">End-of-waste in the policy and regulatory context<\/span><\/h2>[vc_column_text]The European Commission and the Dutch government have set policy goals to increase recycling rates. This emphasises the recycler\u2019s ability to distinguish between waste inputs and product outputs. To enable recycled materials to no longer be labelled waste and simultaneously prevent unintended safety risks for humans and the environment, the European Commission has drafted end-of-waste criteria. The criteria are included in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecomatters.nl\/services\/compliance-legislation\/waste-framework-directive\/\">Waste Framework Directive (WFD)<\/a> and are designed to establish when waste becomes a product during recycling, and therefore obtains its so-called end-of-waste status (i.e. Einde Afvalstatus). However, when exactly can compliance with the end-of-waste criteria be claimed, and who decides if the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecomatters.nl\/services\/compliance-legislation\/waste-framework-directive\/end-of-waste-status\/\">end-of-waste status<\/a> is achieved for a recycled substance?[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\" style=\"height:30px;\"><\/div><style>.vcex-heading.vcex_69e92acaced01{font-size:22px;font-weight:600;}<\/style><h2 class=\"vcex-heading vcex-heading-plain vcex-module wpex-heading wpex-text-2xl vcex_69e92acaced01\"><span class=\"vcex-heading-inner wpex-inline-block\">A deep dive into the Dutch end-of-waste system<\/span><\/h2>[vc_column_text]<a href=\"https:\/\/www.invest-nl.nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Invest-NL<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/groenechemie.nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Groene Chemie Nieuwe Economie<\/a> (GCNE) are actively engaging with, and investing in, new start-ups and scale-ups with novel recycling solutions. Their efforts are focused on initiatives to recycle plastic or biobased waste streams. Recyclers from their network are in need of easily accessible information on the end-of-waste system. They lack legal certainty on the end-of-waste status and find that it is unclear what type of (analytical) information and analytical test result need to be available. Ecomatters was asked to complete an in-depth study of the end-of-waste system.
