EU Shifts Strategy Towards Circular Economy, Aims to Reduce 2.1 Billion Tonnes of Annual Waste

The European Union discards an astounding 2.1 billion metric tonnes of waste each year, a statistic that underscores the urgent need for change.

In response to this alarming figure, the EU is revising its legislative framework to foster a circular economy, a shift away from the current linear model of production and consumption that leads to excessive waste.

This transition will see the European Union adopt a more sustainable approach, moving beyond the take-make-consume-discard paradigm.
