FNADE POSITION : Circular Economy Act

FNADE, the French federation for waste management and environmental services, fully supports the ambition of the Circular Economy Act (CEA) to position the EU as the world leader on circular economy. We welcome the European Commission’s recognition of the strategic role of the waste management sector in ensuring the EU’s industrial competitiveness, sovereignty, and resilience, especially in an unstable geopolitical context that threatens the integrity of value chains and the supply of raw materials.

The commitments of the Commission to create a single market for secondary raw materials, to make recycling and circularity of materials more competitive and strengthen the EU’s industrial resilience, are excellent signals sent to EU industry. FNADE sets out its priorities and puts forward concrete measures to address the current demand crisis for European recycled materials, which remains to date the most significant obstacle to establishing a truly circular economy.
