Ambiente: obiettivi di riciclaggio più ambiziosi per passare a un'economia circolare con più occupazione e crescita sostenibile
|
2 |
Today the Commission adopted proposals to turn Europe into a more circular economy and boost recycling in the Member States.
|
Oggi la Commissione ha adottato alcune proposte intese a sviluppare un'economia più circolare in Europa e a promuovere il riciclaggio negli Stati membri.
|
3 |
Achieving the new waste targets would create 580 000 new jobs compared to today's performance, while making Europe more competitive and reducing demand for costly scarce resources.
|
Il conseguimento dei nuovi obiettivi in materia di rifiuti creerebbe 580 000 nuovi posti di lavoro, rendendo l'Europa più competitiva e riducendo la domanda di risorse scarse e costose.
|
4 |
The proposals also mean lower environmental impacts and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.The plans ask Europeans to recycle 70 % of municipal waste and 80 % of packaging waste by 2030, and ban burying recyclable waste in landfill as of 2025.
|
Le misure proposte, che consentirebbero peraltro di ridurre l'impatto ambientale e le emissioni di gas a effetto serra, prevedono il riciclaggio del 70% dei rifiuti urbani e dell'80% dei rifiuti di imballaggio entro il 2030 e, a partire dal 2025, il divieto di collocare in discarica i rifiuti riciclabili.
|
5 |
A target is also included for reducing marine litter along with food waste reduction objectives.
|
Tra gli obiettivi figura anche la riduzione dei rifiuti marini e alimentari.
|
6 |
The review to strengthen waste targets in existing directives is put in the context of an ambitious drive towards fundamental transition from a linear to a more circular economy.
|
L'innalzamento degli obiettivi in materia di rifiuti nelle direttive esistenti rientra nell'ambizioso sforzo di realizzare una transizione fondamentale da un'economia lineare a una più circolare.
|
7 |
Instead of extracting raw materials, using them once and throwing them away, the new vision is for a different economic model.
|
La nuova visione propone un modello economico diverso, dove le materie prime non vengono più estratte, utilizzate una sola volta e gettate via.
|
8 |
In a circular economy, re-use, repair and recycling become the norm, and waste is a thing of the past.
|
In un'economia circolare i rifiuti spariscono e il riutilizzo, la riparazione e il riciclaggio diventano la norma.
|
9 |
Keeping materials in productive use for longer, reusing them, and with improved efficiency would also improve EU competitiveness on the global stage.
|
Prolungare l'uso produttivo dei materiali, riutilizzarli e aumentarne l'efficienza servono anche a rafforzare la competitività dell'UE sulla scena mondiale.
|
10 |
This approach is set out in a Communication which explains how innovation in markets for recycled materials, new business models, eco-design and industrial symbiosis can move us towards a zero-waste economy and society.
|
Tale approccio è delineato in una comunicazione che spiega come l'innovazione nei mercati dei materiali riciclati, nuovi modelli imprenditoriali, la progettazione ecocompatibile e la simbiosi industriale possano permetterci di passare a una società e a un'economia a "rifiuti zero".

Janez
Potočnik, Commissario per l'Ambiente, ha dichiarato:
|
12 |
"We are living with linear economic systems inherited from the 19th Century in the 21st Century world of emerging economies, millions of new middle class consumers, and inter-connected markets.
|
"Nel XXI secolo, caratterizzato da economie emergenti, milioni di consumatori appartenenti alla nuova classe media e mercati interconnessi, utilizziamo ancora sistemi economici lineari ereditati dal XIX secolo.
|
13 |
If we want to compete we have to get the most out of our resources, and that means recycling them back into productive use, not burying them in landfills as waste.
|
Se vogliamo essere competitivi dobbiamo trarre il massimo dalle nostre risorse, reimmettendole nel ciclo produttivo invece di collocarle in discarica come rifiuti.
|
14 |
Moving to a circular economy is not only possible, it is profitable, but that does not mean it will happen without the right policies.
|
Il passaggio a un'economia circolare, oltre ad essere possibile, è redditizio, ma non avverrà senza le politiche giuste.
|
15 |
The 2030 targets that we propose are about taking action today to accelerate the transition to a circular economy and exploiting the business and job opportunities it offers."
|
Per realizzare gli obiettivi proposti per il 2030 bisogna agire da subito per accelerare la transizione verso un'economia circolare e sfruttare le opportunità commerciali e occupazionali che offre."

European Commissioner for Research, Innovation and Science Máire Geoghegan-Quinn said:
|
Máire Geoghegan-Quinn, Commissaria europea per la ricerca, l'innovazione e la scienza, ha dichiarato:
|
17 |
"Research and innovation are the keys to success for the Circular Economy, which is why we are proposing a joined-up approach today.
|
"La ricerca e l'innovazione sono essenziali per il successo dell'economia circolare, ed è per questo che oggi proponiamo un approccio coerente.
|
18 |
Alongside a supportive regulatory framework, our new Horizon 2020 programme will contribute the know-how necessary to shape a resource-efficient, green and competitive low-carbon economy in the EU."
|
Oltre a fornire un quadro normativo di sostegno, il nuovo programma Orizzonte 2020 apporterà il know-how necessario per dar vita nell'UE a un'economia a basse emissioni di carbonio efficiente nell'impiego delle risorse, verde e competitiva."
|
19 |
The Communication shows how new growth and job opportunities will emerge from a more efficient use of resources.
|
La comunicazione indica come da un uso più efficiente delle risorse deriveranno nuove opportunità di crescita e occupazione.
|
20 |
Greater efficiency will be driven by innovative design, better performing and more durable products and production processes, forward-looking business models and technical advances to turn waste into a resource.
|
Una progettazione innovativa, prodotti migliori e più resistenti, processi produttivi più efficienti e sostenibili, modelli imprenditoriali lungimiranti e i progressi tecnici per trasformare i rifiuti in una risorsa concorreranno ad accrescere l'efficienza.
|
21 |
The package that accompanies the Communication aims to create a framework to help the circular economy become a reality, with policies that are better inter-linked, smart regulation and active support from research and innovation.
|
Il pacchetto che accompagna la comunicazione intende creare il contesto che consentirà di trasformare in realtà l'economia circolare, con politiche meglio interconnesse, una regolamentazione intelligente e il sostegno attivo delle attività di ricerca e innovazione.
|
22 |
This will unlock investment and attract financing while promoting a strong role for business and participation by consumers.
|
Ciò permetterà di sbloccare gli investimenti e attrarre i finanziamenti, incentivando nel contempo la partecipazione dei consumatori e il coinvolgimento più intenso delle imprese.
|
23 |
The package also suggests that resource productivity should be measured on the basis of GDP/Raw Material Consumption, and that a, improvement of 30 % by 2030 could be considered as a possible candidate for a headline target in the forthcoming review of the Europe 2020 Strategy.
|
Il pacchetto suggerisce inoltre di misurare la produttività delle risorse in base al rapporto tra PIL e consumo di materie prime, proponendo di individuare nell'aumento del 30% di tale produttività entro il 2030 un possibile obiettivo principale da inserire nella prossima revisione della strategia Europa 2020.
|
24 |
These initiatives are adopted simultaneously with complementary Communications on
|
Queste iniziative sono accompagnate dalle rispettive comunicazioni che riguardano:
|
25 |
- A Green Employment Initiative
|
- un'iniziativa sull'occupazione verde;
|

|
35 |
Background
|
Contesto
|
36 |
The legislative proposals refer mainly to the Waste Framework Directive, the Landfill Directive and the Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive.
|
Le proposte legislative riguardano principalmente la direttiva quadro sui rifiuti, la direttiva sulle discariche e la direttiva sugli imballaggi e sui rifiuti di imballaggio.
|
37 |
In addition to the targets review, waste legislation will be simplified, and co-operation between the Commission and Member States will be stepped up to ensure better implementation.
|
Oltre a rivedere gli obiettivi, le proposte mirano a semplificare la legislazione in materia di rifiuti e a intensificare la cooperazione tra Commissione e Stati membri, al fine di garantire una migliore attuazione.
|
38 |
Minimum operating conditions for extended producer responsibility schemes will be laid down. Tailor-made approaches will be implemented for specific waste streams, such as marine litter, phosphorus, construction and demolition, food, hazardous and plastic wastes.
|
Saranno definite le condizioni operative minime per i regimi di responsabilità estesa del produttore e saranno adottati approcci su misura per flussi di rifiuti specifici, quali ad esempio i rifiuti marini, il fosforo, i rifiuti da costruzione e demolizione, gli alimenti, i rifiuti pericolosi e la plastica.
|
39 |
Moving towards a circular economy is at the heart of the resource efficiency agenda established under the Europe 2020 Strategy on smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.
|
La transizione verso un'economia circolare è al centro dell'agenda per l'efficienza delle risorse stabilita nell'ambito della strategia Europa 2020 sulla crescita intelligente, sostenibile e inclusiva.
|
40 |
With the Roadmap to a Resource Efficient Europe in 2011 the Commission proposed a framework for action and underlined the need for an integrated approach across many policy areas and levels.
|
Con la tabella di marcia verso un'Europa efficiente sotto il profilo delle risorse, presentata nel 2011, la Commissione ha proposto un quadro d'azione e ha sottolineato la necessità di un approccio integrato in molti settori d'intervento e a più livelli.
|
41 |
The main ideas from the Roadmap were developed further in the General Union Environment Action Programme (7th EAP), which has as a priority objective to turn the EU into a resource-efficient, green and competitive low-carbon economy.
|
Le idee principali della tabella di marcia sono state ulteriormente sviluppate nel programma d'azione generale per l'ambiente (7° PAA), il cui obiettivo prioritario è trasformare l'Unione in un'economia a basse emissioni di carbonio, efficiente nell'impiego delle risorse, verde e competitiva.
|
42 |
The high-level European Resource Efficiency Platform, bringing together governments, businesses and civil society organisations, has called for action to move to a more circular economy, which requires more re-use and high quality recycling to reduce reliance on primary raw materials.
|
La Piattaforma europea sull'efficienza nell'impiego delle risorse, che riunisce governi, imprese e organizzazioni della società civile, è un'iniziativa di alto livello che esorta ad agire per progredire verso un'economia circolare, che impone un maggiore ricorso al riutilizzo e al riciclaggio di alta qualità per ridurre la dipendenza dalle materie prime primarie.
|
43 |
In the 7th EAP, Member States and the European Parliament decided to establish indicators and set targets for resource efficiency, as well as to assess the appropriateness of the inclusion of a headline indicator and target in the European Semester.
|
Nel 7° PAA gli Stati membri e il Parlamento europeo hanno deciso di stabilire indicatori e definire obiettivi per l'efficienza delle risorse, nonché di valutare se sia opportuno includere un indicatore e un obiettivo principali nel semestre europeo.
|
44 |
Following wide consultations, resource productivity, as measured by GDP relative to Raw Material Consumption (RMC), was identified as the most suitable indicator for a possible resource efficiency target.
|
Ampie consultazioni hanno evidenziato che la produttività delle risorse, intesa come rapporto tra PIL e consumo di materie prime, è ritenuta l'indicatore più idoneo per un eventuale obiettivo di efficienza delle risorse.
|
45 |
The EU is already expected to increase its resource productivity by 15 % between 2014 and 2030 under a business as usual scenario.
|
Si prevede già che tra il 2014 e il 2030, a scenario immutato, la produttività delle risorse nell'UE aumenterà del 15%.
|
46 |
Policies to promote the transition to a more circular economy, as called for by the European Resource Efficiency Platform, could result in a doubling of this rate, while boosting job creation and generating further growth. |
L'adozione di politiche volte a promuovere la transizione verso un'economia più circolare, come richiesto dalla Piattaforma europea sull'efficienza nell'impiego delle risorse, potrebbe raddoppiare questa percentuale, incentivando nel contempo crescita e occupazione. |
