The transition is also needed to halt biodiversity loss and wasteful use of natural resources. Published today, two briefings from the European Environment Agency show the status of circular economy and highlight the need for improving recycling quality.<\/p>\n<p>EEA briefing \u2018Europe\u2019s circular economy in facts and figures\u2019 provides a state of play on Europe\u2019s progress from linear production and consumption towards circularity where the value of products and materials are kept in the economy much longer.<\/p>\n<p>Europe has strong policies, knowledge, and financing to support circularity, and the EU businesses and consumers recognise the value of circularity, but its material flows are still predominantly linear, the EEA briefing shows. Resource productivity in Europe is more than 2.5 times higher than the world average and almost half of all waste generated in Europe gets recycled. Still, an average European uses about 14 tonnes of materials and generates 5 tonnes of waste annually, which is among world\u2019s highest levels and beyond sustainable limits.<\/p>\n<p>EEA briefing \u2018Measuring the quality of recycling\u2019 looks at how to increase recycling volumes and improve recycling quality by optimising material loops. According to the briefing, measures to increase recycling quality include avoiding mixed collection systems, investing in effective sorting technologies and directing recyclables into new products that also have a high recycling potential. These are key measures to advance circular economy while maximising the environmental benefits during the entire recycling value chain.<\/p>\n<p>The two analyses are part of the EEA\u2019s \u2018Circularity Metrics Lab\u2019 work, which uses a range of sources to provide insights on progress towards circular economy. This work supports the implementation and monitoring of the EU\u2019s circular economy action plan, which can play a key role both for Europe\u2019s goals on climate and nature and for the bloc\u2019s competitiveness, innovation and security.<\/p>\n<p>Along with the two briefings, the EEA also published country profiles, offering a view of circular economy policies being implemented at a national level with a particular focus on elements that go beyond EU mandatory elements; and best practices with a focus on policy innovation.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eea.europa.eu\/en\/newsroom\/news\/improving-recycling-quality\">EEA<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/improving-recycling-quality-will-support-circular-economy\/\">Improving recycling quality will support circular economy<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,17225],"class_list":["post-135898","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-recycling-quality"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135898","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135898"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135898\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135898"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135898"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135898"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
