The Competitiveness Compass suggests the upcoming Circular Economy Act will help drive investment in recycling, help EU industry substitute virgin materials and reduce landfill and incineration of used raw materials. Executive Vice-President Stéphane Séjourné echoed this during a structured dialogue with Parliament’s Committee on Environment, Public Health and Food Safety on 13 May 2025, underscoring the urgency of scaling up recycling capacity across the EU.
- 1.How does the Commission intend to establish a new financing framework that supports the scaling up of circular solutions, notably to increase the EU’s own remanufacturing and recycling capacity?
- 2.What role does the Commission envisage for financial tools under the Clean Industrial Deal (CID), e.g. the proposed CID State Aid Framework, the Industrial Decarbonisation Accelerator Act and Bank, the Public Procurement Framework, the Competitiveness Fund, the Innovation Fund, or the green VAT initiative, in supporting investment in circular economy infrastructure and value chains?
- 3.What specific measures will the Commission take to mobilise private capital to support the circular economy?
