Transposition of the WFD (Waste Framework Directive) in your country, and local EOW approach ● Our national waste departments share the FERVER position on EOW for Furnace Ready Cullet, but when it comes to actual official conflicts they still follow the actual situation under the definition of waste.

Without support from the authorities creating legislation that encourages ecological friendly solutions, we will not increase the recycling volumes of glass from ELV’s and construction..
