8. The Circular Materials Plan (CMP) is not legislation or a regulation (draft or otherwise). It describes the waste management policy, including the granting of permits, thereby fulfilling national and international obligations to draw up one or more waste management plans. At the moment, the CMP is undergoing internet consultation and can be found on this website: https://circulairmaterialenplan.nl/inspraak/
The CMP will be the successor to the National Waste Management Plan (LAP), which is currently the leading document for describing waste management policy. This notification concerns the entry into force of the CMP as the successor to the LAP. The technical requirements are expressed in so-called assessment frameworks that are indicated separately in the CMP for each sub-plan and chapter.
There is no mutual recognition clause in the CMP, as the CMP is not legislation or a regulation. The CMP therefore does not contain any binding requirements that could hinder the free movement of goods or services.
9. The minimum standard is intended to promote the highest possible level of waste treatment. The minimum standard is therefore an implementation of the waste hierarchy for individual (categories of) waste and thus constitutes a reference level for the granting of waste treatment permits. In this way, the same minimum standard for the processing of the waste streams defined in the CMP applies to all environmental services and leads to uniformity in the execution of waste management. This means that the requirements are also non-discriminatory: the same rules apply to everyone involved in waste treatment.
The minimum standard is necessary for the transition to the circular economy and thus the protection of the environment, and the associated technical requirements do not go beyond what is necessary to achieve this objective. The requirements are therefore proportionate. The minimum standards were established taking account of the following aspects: environmental effects, costs, feasibility, implementability, consequences for cross-border transport of waste, enforceability and effectiveness in granting permits, and the incentive given to the waste treatment sector to both increase the environmental efficiency of treatment and to develop new treatment techniques. The permit issuer may deviate from the minimum standard under certain conditions.
