Public Consultation on the Circular Economy
(From ec.europa.eu)
The European Commission is aiming to present a new, more ambitious circular economy strategy late in 2015, to transform Europe into a more competitive, resource-efficient economy, addressing a range of economic sectors, including waste.
Objective of the consultation
The strategy will be fully aligned with the priorities of the new Commission. It will comprise a revised legislative proposal on waste and a Communication setting out an action plan on the circular economy for the rest of this Commission’s term of office. The action plan will cover the whole value chain, and focus on concrete measures with clear EU added value, aiming at 'closing the loop' of the circular economy.
The Commission is engaged in a thorough reflection on how the objective of circular economy can be reached in an efficient way that is fully compatible with the jobs and growth agenda. A Roadmap for this initiative is available.
