After marathon talks, negotiators from the European Parliament and EU member states reached agreement last December on a package of waste legislation, which sets new targets for recycling. But although the ink has not yet dried on the deal, the European Commission is already preparing a revision of the laws.

In this Event Report, EURACTIV.com takes stock of the latest regulatory developments and looks at the different ingredients that are needed to move towards a truly circular economy.
