Position Paper: A Circular Economy Act to drive competitiveness and investment in circular business

Circularity is the key to a clean, competitive and sustainable economy in Europe. In this position paper, Ecopreneur.eu therefore welcomes the European Commission’s initiative to draft a Circular Economy Act (CEA) by the end of 2026 to create market demand for secondary raw materials.

To meet this goal, the European Business Federation and its members call on EU lawmakers to design the CEA as a robust and comprehensive legislative framework to support the development of lead markets for circular materials, products and business models across Europe. The EU must pave the way to boost demand for secondary raw materials and the supply of quality recyclates for industrial processes in a timely and effective manner. The regulation therefore must combine effective legislative measures with supportive framework conditions that enable circular business models to thrive.
