  • Our commitment to developing the EU Circular Economy Act

    The EU's Circular Economy Act must go beyond incremental change and fully embed circular economy principles in Europe’s entire economic system. In our joint letter to Commission leaders, we emphasise the importance of science-based targets on resource use, keeping products and components in use, and safe material circulation. A truly effective Circular Economy Act will enable Europe to enhance long-term competitiveness, ensure strategic resilience as well as reach carbon neutrality and restore nature.

  • Position paper – Recommendations for an EU Circular Economy Act

    The EU is still at the beginning of a real transition to a circular economy. To truly put a stop to the take/make/use/dispose economy we need robust policies that will help to reduce and reuse resources and extend their lifetime - shifting the focus from extraction to regeneration. In our latest paper we outline the steps needed for the new Circular Economy Act to deliver.
