Collaboration to scale up the circular economy

„50% of global greenhouse gas emission and more than 90% of biodiversity loss and water stress comes from resource extraction and processing. Scaling up the circular economy from frontrunner to mainstream will make a decisive contribution to achieving climate neutrality by 2050 and decoupling economic growth from resource use.“

European Commission – Circular Economy Action Plan, 11.03.2020
