Businesses call for greater circular economy support

Greater policy support for resource efficiency could add €324bn to business output by 2030, EU leaders have been told.   

The Aldersgate Group, which lobbies for UK business interests on sustainable economy issues, set out new long-term policies it says could build on the EU’s Circular Economy Package.

In a new report, Aldersgate called on the EU to continue to support the shift towards greater resource efficiency as the Circular Economy Package, introduced in 2015, nears completion. Businesses, the group said, need assurances the resource efficiency agenda will remain a long-term priority for the EU.
