Waste prevention and management for all types of waste is arguably the most pivotal policy tool in the pursuit of protecting the environment and human health in the Union.

Removed:Recital 1: 1. The European Green Deal and the Circular Economy Action Plan 69 call for reinforced and accelerated Union and Member State action to ensure environmental and social sustainability of the textiles and food sectors as they represent top resource intensive sectors that cause significant negative environmental externalities. In those sectors, financing and technological gaps impede progress towards the transition to a circular economy and decarbonisation. The food and textiles sectors are the first- and the fourth- most resource-intensive sectors respectively 70 and they do not fully adhere to the fundamental Union waste management principles set out in the waste hierarchy which requires the prioritisation of waste prevention followed by preparing for re-use and recycling. These challenges require systemic solutions with a lifecycle approach.
