Circular Economy Action Plan (European Union)

The European Union's Circular Economy Action Plan aims to make products and resources within the EU more sustainable by encouraging reuse, recycling, and reducing waste. Instead of a linear "take-make-dispose" model, it promotes designing products that last longer, are easier to repair, and can be recycled. This approach reduces environmental impact, conserves resources, and stimulates economic growth through innovative practices. Ultimately, it seeks to create a more sustainable system where materials are kept in use for as long as possible, benefiting both the environment and the economy.
