Ministerial decree establishing technical lists of metal-rich materials and by-products from non-ferrous and ferrous metallurgical processes for cascading use and raw-material substitution; administrative/definitional measure with no new producer obligation, disposal ban, or circular-economy mandate—classifies existing by-product streams under waste law to enable their reuse as secondary raw materials, advancing circular material flows but through classification rather than policy lever.

Ministerial Decree on the establishment of the list of materials derived from and intended for metallurgical production processes for non-ferrous metals, and the list of materials used as raw materials.

6. Sustainable management of material cycles and waste.

8. The materials listed in Annex 1 are metal-rich materials produced at one non-ferrous plant, and which are then transferred to another non-ferrous plant for the further production of non-ferrous metals. The present draft concerns the addition of some additional materials, and the modification of the composition of materials listed in the table. The composition modification is usually the result of a change in the corresponding REACH dossier of the material.
The materials listed in Annex 2 are produced by metallurgical production processes for ferrous metals and used in various applications. These applications are listed in the ‘destination’ column. Building material applications are also listed under ‘destination’.
The changes currently proposed can be summarised as follows:
— Correction of some errors and ambiguities in the ‘composition’ column.
— Improved text in the ‘destination’ column to describe the application more specifically.
— Addition of the material ‘ladle slag’ [‘panslakken’].
— Deletion of the ‘soil improver’ application for ‘converter slag’ (also called ‘LD slag’). In practice, converter slag is not used in the Flemish region.
— Deletion of the material ‘EAF S slag’.
9. The Annexes to the Ministerial Decree lay down criteria for the type of material, its origin, the
composition conditions, the destination, and provide additional information on the raw material status of the listed materials. This concerns products within the meaning of
Directive (EU) 2015/1535.
The Decree does not contain any restriction on the use of these materials but rather facilitates their use. For materials that are not listed in the Annex to the Decree, an individual raw material declaration may be submitted at any time.
