The Circular Industry Coalition, led by Circul’R and CEA ISEC with the support of the French Ministry of Economy and Finance, brings together nine major industrial companies to address the growing systemic risks facing European industry.
After a year of collective work, the coalition has published a report highlighting the limits of the linear model and positioning a strong circular economy as a strategic lever for competitiveness, resilience and industrial sovereignty.
The report provides a shared assessment of industrial vulnerabilities and an operational roadmap to accelerate circular transformation at scale.
Packaging uses large quantities of primary raw materials. Increasing quantities of packaging are generated in the EU while the levels of re-use, collection and recycling remain low.
See what the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation covers and aims to achieve.
This petition calls for a change to the current EU policy which allows imported plastic waste to count toward European recycling targets, creating a gap between reported progress and real circularity.
The Commission is asking young people for their views on the coming Circular Economy Act.
It's set to be adopted later this year, and aims to keep products and materials in use for as long as possible. This will reduce waste, resource consumption and our dependence on third countries.
There are three ways to engage: read all about them!
Electric vehicles are rapidly transforming the transportation landscape. Circularity solutions, namely recycling and second-life applications, are central to addressing environmental impacts and securing access to valuable materials in electric vehicle batteries (EVBs).
Consolidating lessons learnt from the BATRAW project, this report identifies three key enabling conditions for scaling up circularity applications for EVBs in the EU: (i) effective implementation of the EU policy framework underpinned by the Batteries Regulation; (ii) strengthened financial support for scaling up battery circularity applications; and (iii) further harmonisation of the standardisation landscape impacting EVB circularity.
The European Investment Bank and the European Commission's Directorate-General for the Environment are organising an event to mark the launch of their joint report on Transitioning to a circular economy: Closing the investment gap in Europe.
This webinar will explore the latest developments in the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation and what it means for the fashion, clothing and textile industry, especially SMEs.
Businesses are key drivers of regional transformation. Support from public authorities and cooperation with research institutions, local administrations and networks is key to overcoming barriers and unlocking the potential of the circular economy.
This publication shows how companies in rural regions can drive the transition towards a circular economy. Drawing on examples from German and European model regions, it highlights how local enterprises implement circular business models, what opportunities arise for regional value creation and resilience, and which policy and governance frameworks can foster this transformation.
The findings show that the circular economy is not only an ecological necessity but also a strategic pathway towards sustainable and resilient regional development.
The European Commission is seeking feedback on possible revisions to the criteria of the EU Taxonomy, the classification system for sustainable economic activities. The goal of the revision is to make the framework simpler and easier to use.
DPPSkop is a comprehensive B2B SaaS platform developed to meet the Digital Product Passport (DPP) requirements mandated under the EU’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation.
The platform enables manufacturers, particularly in high-impact sectors such as textiles, batteries and electronics, to digitise, manage and share the lifecycle data of their products.
