The European Union Circular Economy Action Plan

The European Union Circular Economy Action Plan is a strategy to reduce waste and make better use of resources. It encourages designing products that last longer, can be reused, repaired, or recycled easily. The plan aims to minimize waste disposal, promote sustainable production, and support businesses and consumers in adopting eco-friendly practices. By shifting from a linear "take-make-waste" model to a circular one, the EU seeks to protect the environment, create new jobs, and foster innovation while ensuring economic growth stays sustainable.
