Drawing on more than 30 years' experience, lessons learned from EU-funded projects and the expertise of local and regional authorities across Europe, ACR+ is sharing its recommendations for the Circular Economy Act.

This position paper outlines 26 recommendations to strengthen the EU’s circular transition, focusing on:

• Establish a Circular Single Market with binding targets to increase circular material use and reduce residual waste;
• Leverage public procurement to drive demand for sustainable and circular products;
• Reinforce EPR to support prevention, repair and reuse;
• Tackle WEEE through stronger collection, treatment and recovery of critical raw materials;
• Create a more circular built environment via sustainable (de)construction practices;
• Support the circular bioeconomy and tackle waste.
