September 26, 2025, marked a significant date for the food sector with the official publication of the revised Waste Framework Directive (WFD). As WASTELESS enters its final phase, this legislative update highlights a growing shift in focus: it is no longer just about measuring waste but about reporting it with legal precision.
WIISE (FARE) has supported this transition by serving as a regulatory guide within the project. While our partners have developed impressive AI sensors and tracking software, our focus has been on ensuring these tools align with the legal landscape. Specifically, we have cooperated on the “Interoperability Bridge” (Task 4.1).
This logical bridge is designed to help food companies automatically categorize their logistics data according to official European statistical codes (NACE/CPA). By aligning these technical outputs with Commission Delegated Decision (EU) 2019/1597, we aim to provide SMEs with the tools they need to meet Farm-to-Fork targets without unnecessary administrative complexity, while Member States and the European Commission, including the JRC, may rely on data collected through a harmonised framework to simplify the requirements from the Decision on reporting obligations, and to obtain reliable data to feed the Material Flow Analysis (MFA) model developed by the JRC.
Key Takeaway: Innovation and regulation can move forward together. Our goal is to help turn complex EU directives into clear logic, allowing the food industry to embrace the green transition with clarity.
