Circular Economy Action Plan Publication
The European Commission has released its New Circular Economy Action Plan.
It’s the first step on the road to a comprehensive, EU-wide set of policies to support and enhance the circular economy.
Interpretive document:
Delivering a circular economy within the planet’s boundaries
Institute for European Environmental Policy
- has released a pretty good analysis of
- what the action plan means,
- where it’s ambitious,
- where it could go a little further.

France has leapfrogged the action plan to go even further already, with a new law on microplastic particles.
French circular economy law sets microplastic restriction deadlines
GB Fiscal Incentives:
In the UK, Brexit apparently won’t stop the implementation of a more circular economy.
A new law sets a packaging plastics tax that could shake the industry far beyond incineration, to create serious volumes of recycled and re-used material.
Let’s hope other laws and other industries follow suit!
