Regulation on the sectoral reference document on best environmental management practices, sector environmental performance indicators and benchmarks of excellence for the waste management sector under Regulation (EC) No 1221/2009 on the voluntary participation by organisations in a Community eco-management and audit scheme (EMAS)

This procedure establishes a sectoral reference document for the waste management industry. It defines the best environmental management practices and performance benchmarks that companies can use to improve their ecological footprint under the EU Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS).

This affects waste management organizations that voluntarily participate in EMAS, providing them with clear indicators to measure and report their environmental performance.
