🗣️ Have your say on the #CircularEconomyAct! Share your views through the public consultation and Call for Evidence - open until 6 November midnight (Brussels time) ⬇️
➡️ To continue our circularity efforts, we expect the EU #CircularEconomyAct to foster a well-functioning secondary raw materials market, ensuring fair access to sufficient food-grade feedstock for recycling and addressing the current pricing imbalance between
virgin and recycled materials.
EC's public consultation and Call for Evidence for the upcoming #CircularEconomyAct is still open - have your say!
It will contribute to the ambition set out in the #CompetitivenessCompass and the #CleanIndustrialDeal to make the EU the world leader on the circular economy by 2030!
