Quality management systems for municipal waste data
Best practices and recommendations
The aim of this study is to develop a proposal for an operational framework for a harmonised quality management system at EU level, with respect to the collection, reporting and publication of waste data as well as monitoring. To this end, a screening of the current situation in the EU-27 has been carried out, focusing particularly on data collection and reporting practices. This proposal builds upon the reporting obligations laid down in the Waste Framework Directive, the Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive and the Waste Statistics Regulation. Member States have the obligation to demonstrate compliance with EU recycling targets and are encouraged to establish a system for quality control and traceability of waste. The implementation of a harmonised quality management system can help Member States to track the progress of municipalities towards the attainment of the targets and to assess the impact of specific measures. It can facilitate comparability of data across Member States and better monitoring of the performance of waste management in the EU-27 and beyond. The availability of reliable and consistent waste data can ultimately support the development of new policy options under EU waste legislation.
