Summary

Machine-generated summary

The European Commission, DG JRC - Joint Research Centre, procured a study providing an EU-wide assessment of End of Waste criteria for iron, steel, aluminium and copper scrap. The study covers uptake, enforcement disparities across Member States, trade volumes, price differentials, cost-benefit dynamics in the scrap value chain, misuse of EoW status and improvement options for harmonisation. The estimated value was EUR 139,000. Bidding closed on 27 July 2026; the deadline has passed and no further bids can be submitted.

Description

The overarching goal of this study is to provide an EU-wide assessment of the uptake, implementation/enforcement disparities of EoW criteria for iron, steel, aluminium and copper scrap and the impacts for the EU internal market. Specific objectives of the contract include: - Update evidence on the uptake of EoW criteria, trade volumes, price differentials and cross-border movement of compliant versus non-compliant scrap. - Identify fragmentation in interpretation, enforcement and verification across Member States, and assess the resulting legal-certainty and market-distortion risks. - Quantify cost-benefit dynamics for all actors in the metal-scrap value chain, highlighting distributional impacts and barriers to wider adoption. - Detect misuse of EoW status for circumvention of waste-shipment controls and evaluate its implications for domestic recycling capacity and EU strategic raw-material security. - Provide improvement options to harmonise EoW criteria implementation, close loopholes and consider the establishment of an EU-wide EoW monitoring mechanism. Specialised analytical expertise is essential to deliver the high-quality, evidence-based analysis required to support forthcoming legislative and strategic actions on the EU raw-materials agenda and the circular economy. JRC would like to assess the capability of the market to deliver what is required, and, consequently, the feasibility of the procurement. Therefore, economic operators are invited to participate in a survey at the following link: https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/Market-Research_Metal-scrap_EoW_study
