The European Confederation of Woodworking Industries (CEI-Bois) welcomes the European Commissions initiative to develop a Circular Economy Act (CEA) that will strengthen resource efficiency, support decarbonisation, and boost strategic autonomy in Europe. Wood is an indispensable circular material in Europe: renewable, reusable, repairable, recyclable, and capable of long-term carbon storage.
