1 Safe & Sustainable Circular Economy Committed to support a sustainable and safe circular economy. Dr. Susanne L. Waaijers-van der Loop susanne.waaijers@rivm.nl 1

2 Balancing the use of resources (or molecules) Doughnut Economics, Planetary Boundaries, Butterfly Diagram, all about the balance of biogeochemical cycles... 2

3 in a sustainable way. Topics 3

4 A sustainable balance Drivers (or response, for those who speak DPSIR ) Public, private and personal goals & ambition Legality CHARGING RIVM What is safe and sustainable design? 4

5 Safe & Sustainable Loops (RIVM) Defining scope source Residual material (Recycling) process Output new material Application Product : Select relevant modules Safe & Sustainable Loops: Joris Quik, Johannes Lijzen & Job Spijker et al. to be published (2018)

6 Safe & Sustainable Loops (RIVM) Waste or Side Stream Modules

7 Safe & Sustainable Loops Regulations & limit values [1] REACH restrictions [2] REACH candidate list [3] REACH authorization list [4] CLP [5] POP-Regulation [6] Food contact material directive [7] Toys Directive [8] Cosmetics Directive [9] RoSH Directive [10] Fertilizer Act [11] Soil Quality Decree; Soil Quality Regulation [12] Waste Directive 7

8 Waste Directive 2008/98/EC Waste means any substance or object which the holder discards or intends or is required to discard. Cease to be waste (End of Waste) Criteria (purpose, market, technically fit, no adverse effects) Considered for eg. aggregates, paper, glass, metal, tyres & textiles For the purpose of recovery and recycling targets Case by case possible (Member States) 8

10 Example of a Module: ZZS Tier 2 Block 1: Is removal of ZZS achievable? 1) 2) 3) Input Decision Output Are there any measures available to remove ZZS from the material flow? Are these measures technically feasible? Are these measures economically feasible? Removal is desired, which will result in no concern regarding the ZZS content No No No Block 2: Is the preservation of ZZS in the system acceptable? 1) 2) 3) Are there any limit No values applicable? Does the material flow meet the relevant limit values? No Are the ZZS fixed in the material matrix (i.e. is there limited exposure throughout the life cycle)? No Will the material be distinguishable, so that the ZZS could be removed at a later time when condisered appropriate? No Input for weighing of outcomes There is no concern when preserving the ZZS in the system Removal is not feasible and there is a concern for the preservation of ZZS in the system in its current form Not possible to make a reliable statement based on available data. Go to Tier 3. Safe & Sustainable Loops: Joris Quik, Johannes Lijzen & Job Spijker et al. to be published (2018)
