Waste VALOrisation & Resource Evaluation (EU)
policy support
policy role
Based on data availability, the model can help with policymaking in several ways. It can be used to assess the potential impact of new policies, monitor how well they're working, and evaluate their effectiveness over time.
The model was developed to support the European Commission's Circular Economy Action Plan, the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, the Circular Economy Act. It's also been used to inform policies on waste lubricant oil, plastic recycling, textile waste, and other areas.
The model is a useful tool for policymakers because it can help them:
- Understand the potential effects of new policies
- Track progress and identify areas for improvement
- Evaluate the success of policies and make adjustments as needed
Overall, the model can help policymakers make informed decisions and develop effective waste management strategies.
