In an effort to boost the transition to a circular economy, the EU adopted several new anti-waste laws in May 2018. However, having missed the July deadline for the transposition into national law, many EU member states are yet to implement most of these laws.

In this report, we take stock of progress made so far to advance the circular economy across all 27 member states.

The report was written by the European Environmental Bureau (EEB) together with lawyers at ClientEarth and Ecoteca.
