8. The Circular Materials Plan (CMP) is not legislation or a regulation (draft or otherwise). It will be the policy for
the management of waste described, including with regard to the granting of permits, thus
complying with national and international obligations to
draw up more or more waste management plans. At present, the CMP is under internet consultation and the CMP can also
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 guides the
describing of policies on waste management. This notification concerns the
entry into force of the CMP as the successor to the LAP. The technical requirements are expressed in
what are known as assessment frameworks that are indicated separately in the CMP for each sub-plan and chapter.
The CMP does not include a mutual recognition clause, because the CMP is not legislation or a
regulation. The CMP does not therefore contain any binding provisions that might restrict the free movement of
goods or services.
9. The minimum standard is intended to promote the highest possible quality of waste
processing. The minimum standard is therefore an implementation of the waste hierarchy for individual
(categories of) waste and thus constitutes a reference level for the
authorisation for waste treatment. The same minimum standard applies to all environmental services
for the treatment of the waste streams defined in the CMP and
this will lead to the standardisation of the performance of waste management. This means that the rules 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 therefore the
protection of the environment and the associated technical provisions do not go beyond what is
necessary to achieve this goal. The rules are therefore proportionate. In determining the
minimum standards, the following respects have been considered: environmental impacts, costs,
feasibility, practicability, consequences for transboundary shipments of waste,
the practicality and effectiveness of authorisation and the incentive given to the
waste treatment sector to increase the environmental efficiency of the treatment and
develop new processing techniques. Deviation from the minimum standard by the
licensing authority is possible, under conditions.
The monitoring of waste management is included in the following monitor:
