Event hosted by CLG Europe’s Materials and Products Taskforce. The EU has recently made great strides towards meeting its climate goals. However, less focus has been placed on the key role that a circular economy plays. This event highlights the critical role that building a circular European economy plays to meet the EU’s climate goals. This event is also an opportunity to showcase the work of the CLG Europe’s Taskforce for Climate Neutral and Circular Materials and Products (‘The Materials and Products Taskforce’) 12 months after its launch at COP26. Speakers included: • Eliot Whittington, Director at CLG Europe and Policy Director at CISL • Helen Ågren, Director, Ministry of Environment, Climate Department, Sweden • Chiara Martinelli, Director, CAN Europe • Anthony Abbotts – Director Group Public Affairs & Sustainability, ROCKWOOL Group • Vicente Saiso, Global Sustainability Vice President, CEMEX As part of this event, we published our paper – ‘Green Circularity: Advancing the EU’s climate goals through a Circular Economy’. The policy briefing highlights the critical role that building a circular European economy plays in meeting the EU’s climate goals. Furthermore, this paper sets out that the challenges and recommendations for policymakers to speed up the transition to a circular economy. Read the publication here: https://www.corporateleadersgroup.com/reports-evidence-and-insights/collections/reports/policy-briefing-green-circularity-advancing-eus The Materials and Products Taskforce was launched with the aim of driving forward policy action on sustainable materials by bringing together a group of progressive businesses across sectors and value chains. The group brings together companies that are actively committed to producing and using climate neutral and sustainable materials, and who want to work together to promote and support EU-wide measures to decarbonise material production and use. The Materials and Products warmly welcomed the EU’s newly proposed Ecodesign for Sustainable Product Regulation, part of the EU Circular Economy Action Plan, which can be a key framework Directive to drive change. For maximum impact, however, there is also a need to address wider issues, and to help resolve a series of challenges which businesses encounter when driving to become more circular and sustainable.
