The forthcoming Circular Economy Act is expected to play a central role in supporting Europe’s resource efficiency and competitiveness goals. Circular solutions can reduce dependence on virgin raw materials while creating new business opportunities and strengthening industrial resilience. Clear market signals and predictable regulation will be essential for accelerating investments in circular products and services.
FFIF key message:
The Circular Economy Act should create lead markets for renewable, recyclable and bio-based products, including through public procurement, product policy and recognition of renewable materials as circular inputs alongside secondary raw materials.
