The European Commission's upcoming Circular Economy Act risks focusing too heavily on recycling without adequately addressing the absolute reduction of material consumption and import dependency, which are crucial for the EU's environmental sustainability and economic resilience.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

EU policy is moving beyond recycling towards demanding actual cuts in material use and environmental costs. You in climate tech or sustainability should prepare for new rules that may reshuffle supply chains and pricing within a year.
