  • removing barriers to circularity
  • improving the effectiveness of Extended Producer Responsibility schemes
  • harmonising reporting obligations across the EU
  • strengthening collection and sorting infrastructure
  • developing competitive markets for secondary raw materials

Measures related to product design or recycled and bio-based content should remain evidence-based, proportionate and tailored to sector-specific needs.

Aย successful circular economy must be practical, innovation-driven and fully aligned with Europeโ€™s competitiveness objectives.
