#32026R1116EU List of Products and Waste Streams with Critical Raw Materials Recovery Potential
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation identifies the products, components and waste streams that the EU considers important for recovering critical raw materials. The list is meant to guide national programmes under the Critical Raw Materials Act, so Member States know where to focus circularity and recovery measures. The practical effect is on governments, recyclers, waste operators, manufacturers and businesses handling products that contain valuable materials. Member States may still target additional products or waste streams, but this EU list becomes the common reference point for recovery planning.
