Municipal waste management is a significant issue in the European Union (EU) due to the quantities and diverse composition of waste generated by households, commercial activities, and public services. This contribution provides a definition of municipal waste as well as an overview of the key targets deriving from EU waste legislation. It then describes the EU municipal waste governance, market structure, and funding sources. It briefly recaps the current levels of municipal waste generation and treatment in EU27. Finally, it looks into the asset and financing needs required to meet the ambitious municipal waste management targets set by the EU.

Parole chiave:municipal waste regulation, circular economy.
