50 years of the First EU Waste Framework Directive: Assessment and Perspectives

Fifty years of European waste law, under scrutiny. On the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the first EU Waste Framework Directive, this colloquium brings together scholars — from law, management, the social sciences and beyond — and practitioners to reflect on half a century of European Waste Laws and Management (EU WL&M).

It examines how the European regulatory framework has evolved, how it has been transposed into Member States, and how local actors have interpreted, adapted, and contested it.

Professor Giulia Romano will present her work Bridging the Implementation Gap of the EU Waste Hierarchy: Institutional and Organizational Mechanisms Across European Public Organizations in Session 2, Thursday 8 October, 16:30-18:00.
