The upcoming Circular Economy Act represents a crucial opportunity to align EU frameworks and deliver on the objectives of the Clean Industrial Deal and Competitiveness Compass. It can strengthen systemic, market-based incentives and policy-driven initiatives for biobased and recycled alternatives to fossil-based inputs, driving competitiveness and enabling a sustainable transition towards circularity.

What they argued
The Global Organization for Polyhydroxyalkanoates (GO!PHA) is a non-profit science, advocacy, and networking platform promoting the proliferation of PHA biopolymers. PHA Biopolymers are renewable and biodegradable, home and industrially compostable, and an excellent replacement for many plastic materials.
GO!PHA is a non-profit engaged in promoting circular and sustainable materials such as PolyHydroxyAlkanoate (PHA) biopolymers that are renewable, biodegradable and compostable. We welcome the Commissions proposal to revise the Directive on waste.
Dear Members of the European Commission, We are pleased to respond to your proposal for “establishing a framework for setting ecodesign requirements for sustainable products and repealing Directive 2009/125/EC”.
GO!PHA welcomes the Biotech Act II initiative and the focus on strengthening Europe's competitiveness in industrial biotechnology and biomanufacturing, where novel biobased and biodegradable materials play a key role.
The SUPD evaluation is an important opportunity to develop a robust science driven approach to ensure a high level of environmental protection, in line with the original SUPD intention, while enabling safe and sustainable plastic alternatives to scale and contribute to the Directives goals.
Dear Members of the European Commission, We are pleased to respond to your proposed “Roadmap Policy framework to reduce the presence in the environment of unintentionally released microplastics from tyres, textiles and plastic pellets”. We believe that such a framework is extremely important if it emphasises to identify the root cause of the problems arising from microplastics - use of non-biodegrabale materials.
