This is the Ellen McArthur Foundation's key policy recommendations for the Circular Economy Act.
They argue that by rapidly aligning regulatory requirements and fiscal incentives across the EU single market without further delay, the CEA can enable a European secondary raw materials market and circular business models to succeed, while harmonising environmental and industrial policy goals.
They propose three core policy levers:
Build a true EU single market where circular products and secondary materials can move freely.
Leverage price and demand signals to make upstream circular solutions the most accessible and affordable choice for buyers.
Treat the circular economy as a core industrial strategy to strengthen circular supply and value chains through industrial collaboration.
