Background
The European Commission plans to propose a Circular Economy Act to enhance the EU’s economic security and competitiveness, while promoting more sustainable production, circular economy business models and decarbonisation. The Circular Economy Act aims to establish a coherent EU framework to accelerate the transition to a circular economy by creating a functioning Single Market for circularity, especially for secondary raw materials. It intends to increase the supply for high‑quality recycled materials and stimulate demand for those materials within the EU.
It is expected to build on and simplify existing legislation, address fragmentation across Member States and support the competitiveness, resilience and economic security of the EU by reducing dependence on imported resources, especially critical raw materials. The Act will facilitate the free movement of ‘circular’ products, secondary raw materials and waste.
