Starting 21st September, the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Safety opened consultation on the draft regulation simplifying excavated earth and rock management

Summary:

The Italian Ministry of Environment and Environmental Sustainability has launched a public consultation on the draft regulation to simplify the management of mining waste and rocks. The regulation aims to promote the reuse of these materials, enabling their utilization as underproducts and reuse on-site, separate from the waste management discipline. This initiative is in line with the article 48 of the PNRR decree (24 February 2023, n.13) and aims to ensure the timely implementation of the National Plan for Recovery and Resilience. A consultation form and supporting documentation are available on the Ministry's website, allowing individuals to submit comments and suggestions for integration or modification of the text within the next 10 days.
