Circular Ocean features in EC Report on Circular Economy
In 2015, the European Commission adopted an ambitious Circular Economy Package, which includes revised legislative proposals on waste to stimulate Europe’s transition towards a circular economy which will boost global competitiveness, foster sustainable economic growth and generate new jobs.
The Circular Economy Package consists of an EU Action Plan for the Circular Economy that establishes a concrete and ambitious programme of action, with measures covering the whole cycle: from production and consumption to waste management and the market for secondary raw materials. The proposed actions will contribute to “closing the loop” of product life-cycles through greater recycling and re-use, and bring benefits for both the environment and the economy.
One year after adopting its Circular Economy Package, the European Commission has issued a report on the delivery and progress of key initiatives of its 2015 Action Plan. We are very pleased that the Circular Ocean Project featured as an example of how EU funding is working to support the Circular Economy.
