This roadmap is designed to enable national governments to shift from a linear to a circular economic model.
It sets out a step-by-step process for countries, starting with planning and engaging stakeholders, then forming a dedicated team, identifying key stakeholders and thoroughly analyzing the country's current economic framework to find opportunities for circularity.
Drawing insights from global case studies, it offers practical solutions tailored to each developing country's unique context. It highlights the importance of collaborative efforts involving businesses, international organisations, academic institutions, financial entities and NGOs.
It aims to empower nations in the Global South to embrace sustainable development, environmental preservation, and economic resilience.

The public consultation 'Towards a circular, regenerative and competitive bioeconomy' ran from 31 March to 23 June 2025. It invited people to provide feedback for the future EU bioeconomy strategy, to be adopted in the fourth quarter of this year. The summary report is now available, giving an overview of stakeholders had to say.

This event will explore how CEMBUREAU's Cement Action Plan can contribute to climate action and competitiveness in the EU.
The plan focuses on building climate-resilient infrastructure, delivering affordable housing, enabling renewable energy systems and ensuring strategic autonomy through a strong, local industrial base. To fully play this role, the cement sector needs a regulatory framework that enables investment, rewards circularity and supports innovation at scale.
This webinar will explore the latest developments in the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) and what it means for the fashion, clothing and textile industry, especially SMEs.
It will unpack key components of the EPSR, including the Digital Product Passport (DPP), Substances of Concern (SoC), green public procurement, ecodesign requirements and the ban on destroying unsold goods. International and national standards on circularity and ecodesign relevant to the sector will also be introduced.
The transition to circularity in the EU needs support from policymakers and stakeholders at all levels – and that will require indicators and metrics. Complementary indicators need to be developed which expand the focus of traditional efforts to give greater attention to higher-value circularity activities and allow for the specificity of relevant policy focus areas, economic sectors and material streams.
This document is the final report of a 2-year project to identify and investigate opportunities for innovation in monitoring circularity across the EU.
It provides a baseline of policy and funding frameworks and monitoring efforts across 11 priority policy themes. 60 indicators were tested as part of the project, with conclusions and recommendations for each of the individual policy areas.
