Impact of legislative reform: valorisation via by-product

The first good practice of INERTWASTE is out!

The practice addresses challenges in the waste valorisation process under the former law in Spain, characterized by a long and bureaucratic decision procedure managed by the central government.

The introduction of the national "Law 7/2022 on waste and contaminated soils for a circular economy" has improved the situation. This legislation, transposing the EU Directive 2018/851, simplifies the valorisation process by shifting management to regional authorities. The decision procedures are now significantly shorter, and the new law introduces the concept of "by-product".

Do you want to know which first by-product has been approved in the new regulatory framework?
