The Future is Circular: Rethinking Resources for a Sustainable Economy
In a world grappling with climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution, one fundamental driver often goes unnoticed: resource consumption. Over the past 50 years, global material use has surged by more than three times, with high-income countries responsible for disproportionately high environmental impacts. This linear approach - extract, use, dispose - has dominated economies for centuries. But the tide is turning. The circular economy presents an opportunity to redefine economic growth by designing out waste, keeping products and materials in use for longer, and regenerating natural systems.
Deal on New EU Rules to Reduce Textile and Food Waste
60 million tonnes of food waste and 12.6 million tonnes of textile waste are generated annually in the EU.

A Circular System to Turn Plastic Waste into Innovative New Products
LIXIL has developed "revia," a circular building material that reuses hard-to-recycle plastic waste by combining it with waste wood. This innovative process allows different materials to be crushed and extruded together without sorting, making it possible to effectively use almost all household and commercial waste plastics. Revia aims to address the issue of plastic waste and reduce CO2 emissions by over 80% compared to burning waste plastics and wood. The material is versatile, boasting a handmade, wood-like texture, and is suitable for various applications, from building materials to everyday products.
