In the context of the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the European Green Deal and EC Circular Economy Action Plan, Junior Enterprise Europe (JEE), the EU Chapter of the Club of Rome (CoR-EU), the European Environmental Bureau (EEB) and the Fair Trade Advocacy Office (FTAO) are organising an online event on the opportunities of circular economy, its possible blindspots, and explore how best to promote the proliferation of business models in the EU that are both circular and fair. This event is part of the Circular Talks of the Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform and builds on a report prepared by Circle Economy on behalf of FTAO and the EEB which will be published online during the event.<\/span><\/p>\n

Circular economy has become one of the core components of the necessary transition to a more sustainable society. In its Communication on the <\/span>Circular Economy Action Plan<\/span><\/a>, the European Commission has emphasized the importance of circular economy in curbing the consumption of scarce materials, production of waste and the creation of green gas emissions. Additionally, the Action Plan states that \u2018for business, working together on creating the framework for sustainable products will provide new opportunities in the EU and beyond.\u2019 However, we must also make sure that the transition is approached in a holistic way and that the circular model does not keep perpetuating\u00a0 the known issues of linear value chains including human rights abuses, unfair trading practices. <\/span><\/p>\n
