On 10 June 2022, a package of five laws were published to
implement the European Union ("EU")
directives which are part of the "Circular Economy" into
Luxembourg law and to strengthen the Luxembourg legal framework for
waste management. Amongst them, three laws are of special
interest.
1. Management of waste
The law of 9 June 2022 (the "Waste
Law") implements directive 2018/851 of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 amending Directive
2008/98/EC on waste (the "2018/851
Directive"). The 2018/851 Directive is part of a
circular economy package and provides measures to (i) prevent or
reduce the generation of waste, (ii) reduce overall impacts of
resource use, and (iii) set out extended producer responsibility
schemes.
