"Completing the Picture: How the Circular Economy Tackles Climate Change, a paper published by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, tells us:      Greenhouse gas emissions are not falling quickly enough to achieve climate targets and switching to renewable energy can only cut them by 55%     The remaining 45% of emissions come from how we make and use products, and how we produce food"
The circular economy applied to the automotive industry
"The objective of this scoping paper is to present an initial exploration of the circular economy opportunities for the biocycle economy. It presents the first steps towards a deeper understanding enabled by a more comprehensive analysis."

New Circular Economy Action Plan "The transition to the circular economy will be systemic, deep and transformative, in the EU and beyond. It will be disruptive at times, so it has to be fair. It will require an alignment and cooperation of all stakeholders at all levels - EU, national, regional and local, and international."
A European Strategy for Plastics in a Circular Economy "Over  the  past  50  years,  the  role  and  importance  of plastics   in   our   economy   has   consistently   grown. Global    production    of    plastics    has    increased twentyfold  since  the  1960s,  reaching  322  million  tonnes in 2015. It is expected to double again over the next 20 years."
"The Circular economy offers an opportunity to reinvent our economy, making it more sustainable and competitive. This will bring  benefits for European businesses, industries, and citizens alike. With this new plan to make Europe’s economy more sustainable and  more competitive, the Commission is delivering ambitious measures to cut resource use, reduce waste and boost recycling."

Circularity Indicators For Measuring Circularity In A Circular Economy   "The developed indicators consist of the Material Circularity Indicator, measuring how restorative the material flows of a product or company are, and complementary indicators that allow additional impacts and risks to be taken into account. The indicators may be used by product designers, as well as for internal reporting, procurement decisions, and the evaluation or rating of companies."
