Joint letter on the EU Circular Economy Act
The EU Circular Economy Act: a key opportunity for sustainable resource use, long-term competitiveness, and strategic resilience
Alongside a group of European civil society organisations engaged in accelerating the transition to a circular economy, the EEB expresses support to the upcoming EU Circular Economy Act, which marks a pivotal moment to align Europe’s resource use with the objectives of the EU Green Deal and Clean Industrial Deal.
To fully seize this opportunity, the Act must go beyond incremental change and fully embed circular economy principles in Europe’s entire economic system. To do so, it must incorporate the following priorities:
- Setting science-based targets on resource use
- Harnessing the potential of keeping products and components in use, not just materials
- Accelerating safe material circulation by integrating chemical and circular economy legislation
