What are the Key Requirements of the WFD for Catalysis?
Several key requirements of the WFD are directly relevant to catalysis:
Waste Prevention: Industries must implement measures to reduce the quantity of waste generated during catalytic processes. Recycling and Recovery: Companies are encouraged or required to recycle and recover materials from spent catalysts. Hazardous Waste Management: Special protocols must be followed for the management of hazardous wastes, such as certain spent catalysts that contain heavy metals. Extended Producer Responsibility: Producers of catalysts may be required to take responsibility for the entire lifecycle of their products, including end-of-life recycling.
