European public policies for the circular economy ETUI workshop “The earth is flat and the economy circular?” 30 May 2017 Kiljava training centre, Finland Laurent Zibell, Policy Adviser

The Circular Economy Concept Maintain the economic, technical and ecological value of physical objects Material flows in a loop: after use, the product / component / material is fed back into production (= not disposed of) Fundamental change in industrial processes Necessary in world of finite resources

Circular Economy: preserve the value of industrial objects (long-life) Product (Information) + Maintain Repair Full product Upgrade Retrofit Re-manufacture Economic + Ecological Value Disassemble into modules / components Module Component Raw material Sort Purify Recycle - (Entropy) Waste

The Circular Economy Package: political context Previous package removed by Commission (late 2014) Parliament INI report (Jun 2015) Published 02-Dec-2015

Parliament report “Moving towards a circular economy” 2014/2208 (INI) Product passport Display expected lifetime of product Non-toxic material cycles Market surveillance, prevent export of waste Compulsory Green Public Procurement Lease economy / sharing economy

The Circular Economy Package (Dec 2015) Comprehensive work plan on: Production, Consumption, Waste management, Market for “secondary” raw materials, Material-specific measures, Innovation Indicators

The Circular Economy Package: 1 – Production Eco-design requirements Repairability, upgradability, durability, recyclability Extended Producer Responsibility BAT reference docs for production
