The European Chemical Regions Network (ECRN) welcomes the European Commissions proposal for a Circular Economy Act (CEA) as a key step to strengthen the European Green Deal and accelerate the transition toward a competitive, resource-efficient, and climate-neutral economy by 2050. Circular economy is not only an environmental goal but a strategic industrial policy.

What they argued
Ensure that circular business models are incentivized considering their environmental benefits and facilitate a secure and high-quality supply of secondary raw materials by: - Strengthening the role of the chemical sector in the processing of waste and the high-quality use of renewable raw materials. - Creating a stable and balanced tax regime in Europe for landfilling and burning of waste.
In the last years, the European Commission undertook multiple initiatives to boost the European industry and make it more competitive globally, such as The New Industry Strategy or The EU Chemical Strategy for Sustainability Towards a Toxic-free Environment. All these actions are supposed to lead us to the green and digital transformation of the European industry and enhance Europes strategic autonomy.
The European Chemical Regions Network (ECRN) is striving for a circular economy. A fully circular economy starts with smart design and the use of discarded materials for products with an equal or higher value. Waste flows are not limited to regional and national boundaries.
The European Chemical Regions Network (ECRN) welcomes the European Commissions draft Implementing Decision laying down rules for the calculation, verification, and reporting of recycled plastic content in single-use plastic beverage bottles, in line with Directive (EU) 2019/904.
The European Chemical Regions Network (ECRN) welcomes the European Commissions initiative to establish an Advanced Materials Act (AMA) and strongly supports its objective to strengthen Europes industrial competitiveness, innovation capacity, resilience, and green and digital transitions.
