How can the EU set up a Circular Products Initiative, supporting jobs, growth and environmental sustainability? The Leiden-Delft-Erasmus Centre for Sustainability (CfS) offered a policy brief and related study about this question to the European Commission.
The study was commissioned by the Netherlands Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment during the preparation period for the Dutch Presidency of the European Union in the first half of 2016.
With this study, we hope to give support to the further work of the Commission in the context of the Communication “Closing the loop - An EU action plan for the Circular Economy”
