The new guidelines put a stronger focus on Pre-Processing and inclusivity. They also highlight the role of Pre- and Co-Processing for the circular economy, improving resource efficiency as well as mitigating climate change and marine litter.

New Case Studies from Austria, Philippines, China, Egypt, Argentina, Colombia and Ukraine provide practical examples of pre- and co-processing in action and demonstrate how these technologies can be a part of an integrated waste management system.
