As things stand, almost 90% of material resources used in the EU are lost after their first use. This means that more effort is needed to accelerate the transition to a circular economy, where waste is prevented and materials are recycled.

In this document, produced in cooperation with other Brussels-based NGOs, EEB highlight 10 policy priorities to reduce waste in all sectors – including food, construction, packaging, transport, electronics, batteries and textiles.

The measures discussed in this document can help governments meet Europe’s new recycling and waste prevention targets.
