European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform

The European Commission has launched a public consultation on new rules setting out additional product exemptions from EU requirements on the removability and replaceability of portable batteries. 

They are proposing to add six new product categories. Good idea, bad idea - tell them what you think by 26 May!

In its own-initiative opinion on “A comprehensive strategy for nature-based biodegradable materials to foster circularity and resource efficiency, strengthen the agri-food sector and scale-up the EU bioeconomy”, the EESC stresses that the EU should seize the opportunity to advance circular economy and bioeconomy goals while reinforcing the agri-food, forestry and fisheries sectors.

The European Reuse Barometer provides key insights for companies, policymakers and industry stakeholders working toward a circular economy.

If your business is in the reuse and refill industry, complete the survey and add to the body of data informing EU and national policy discussions!

This survey aims to gather insights from EU companies and business associations. The goal is to identify priority needs, barriers and opportunities which can facilitate EU support for European private sector engagement in waste and water managements sectors in Latin America and the Caribbean.
