Joint letter – For an ambitious EU mandate embracing a holistic vision on circular economy

Recycling and recovery aren't enough to make a truly circular economy. The EU must address ALL the pillars of circularity - narrowing, slowing, closing, cycling, and regenerating - and focus on reducing the amount of resources we use as a priority.

Read our joint letter, co-signed with 14 leading European organisations. We call for a dedicated EU Circular Economy Commissioner to pave the way for a comprehensive sustainable materials and resources management framework.
