On 28 February, ACR+ led the session “Circular economy and sufficiency during the 2023 European Circular Economy Stakeholder Conference, which focused on the role of the circular economy in driving sustainable recovery, open strategic autonomy and resilience. The concept of sufficiency is necessary to broaden horizons of circular economy and look beyond key concepts such as reuse and recycle. It is crucial to facilitate lifestyles that involve not just consuming better but also consuming less. Many industries have focused on using sustainable materials and recycling, but we are far from having significant reductions in resource use. Sufficiency can represent a space of dialogue where key stakeholders can find a shared ground for coordinated action. Workshop participants discussed definitions of sufficiency, related policy examples and further questions about the concept.
