EU Promotes Efficiency

摘要

The european Union Environment Council has encouraged the Commission to explore measures to promote resource efficiency, in particular a reduction in the use of raw materials and to instead encourage their re-use and recycling. This positive conclusion, drawn from a recent Environment Council Meeting, in which waste matters were very much top of the agenda, was reinforced by Council recognition of "the importance of fully implementing and enforcing waste and recycling legislation" and "taking measures to ensure that credit and risk capital are available for the development of eco-technologies, renewable energy sources and recycling activities."
