Waste Framework Directive (WFD) 2025 Amendment

The Waste Framework Directive (2008/98/EC) was amended by Directive (EU) 2025/1892, which entered into force on 16 October 2025. This revision primarily focuses on food and textile waste, introducing new rules for their management and binding food waste reduction targets. While the amendment itself doesn't directly set new targets for construction and demolition waste, it reinforces the overall circular economy principles of the WFD.
