8. This Order establishes the criteria for granting End-of-Waste Status (EoW) to fertilising materials which comply with the specifications laid down in Ministerial Order No 79/2022 and Regulation (EU) No 142/2011. The Order:
- Establishes the quality requirements for the digestate or compost resulting from the recovery operation.
- Specifies the materials that may be used in the anaerobic digestion and composting operation.
- Defines the requirements of organic recovery processes and techniques.
- Presents a model Declaration of Conformity that must accompany any consignment of declassified material.
- Specifies the main elements that must be included in the management system.
9. The Waste Framework Directive – WFD (Directive 2008/98/EC) provides for mechanisms that allow certain materials to be used without being subject to waste legislation. Among these mechanisms is End-of-Waste (EoW) status, which may be applied to a given waste once it has undergone a recovery operation, provided that compliance with predefined criteria is demonstrated at EU level or, in the absence of such criteria, at Member State level.
