Assessment & Perspectives of EU Waste Laws at the occasion of the 50 years of the 1st Waste Framework Directive

This interdisciplinary conference aims to foster dialogue between legal scholars, management researchers, and the broader social sciences to examine fifty years of EU Waste Laws and Management, and to discuss the challenges shaping the next decades. Particular attention will be given to the tension between EU-level harmonisation and local implementation, as well as to power dynamics among public, private, and civil-society actors in the development of waste and circular-economy policies.
