Benefits: why do we need to switch to a circular economy?
Protecting the environment
Reusing and recycling products would slow down the use of natural resources, reduce landscape and habitat disruption and help to limit biodiversity loss.

Another benefit from the circular economy is a reduction in total annual greenhouse gas emissions

According to the European Agency for the Environment, industrial processes and the use of products are responsible for 9.10% of greenhouse gas emissions in the EU, so that waste management represents 3.32%.
Creating more efficient and sustainable products from the start would help to reduce energy and resource consumption, as it is estimated that more than 80% of a product's environmental impact is determined during the design phase.

Packaging is a growing issue and, on average, <#$43308>The aim is to tackle excessive packaging and improve its design to promote reuse and recycling.

How can the EU achieve a circular economy by 2050?
