The EU's Circular Economy Strategy, first introduced in 2015 and updated in 2020, is set for further development under President Ursula von der Leyen's second term. She has tasked Commissioner Jessika Roswall with creating a Circular Economy Act to legally enforce measures aimed at reducing resource consumption. The Act aims to enhance recyclability, establish a market for secondary materials, and invest in waste reuse and recycling technologies. A discussion on these topics will take place in Brussels on March 18, featuring various key figures from the EU and business community.
