HomeMoving towards a circular economy with EMAS
Best practices to implement circular economy strategies (with case study examples)
Metadaten zur Veröffentlichung
In December 2015, the EU adopted an ambitious Circular Economy Package, including an Action Plan, to stimulate Europe’s transition to a circular economy. The specific objectives of the Package are to boost the EU’s global competitiveness, foster sustainable economic growth and generate new jobs. To do so, the plan suggested making better use of EMAS and the EU Ecolabel. From the recent Fitness check conducted on the EMAS Regulation (an assessment of its relevance and efficiency), it is clear that EMAS represents an opportunity not only to deliver on environmental objectives, but also to support economic objectives. Organisations that participate in EMAS can boost their financial performance and competitiveness by increasing their resource efficiency. The Fitness Check concluded that: “If widely used and appropriately implemented, EMAS and the Ecolabel could drive innovation and deliver real market change.” The EU has made the circular economy a priority, and EMAS can be used to achieve this goal. This report sets out to highlight the contribution of EMAS organisations to the circular economy, and to encourage other organisations to innovate in this area.
