Building a Circular Economy: New_InnoNet

1. In a circular economy, almost nothing is wasted. Re-use and re-manufacturing is standard practice, and sustainability is built into the fabric of that society.There is less waste to deal with, and more is generated from limited resources. The new technologies created then bolster the competitive position on the worldstage. Our challenge is to place the European Union at the forefront of these developments.KarmenuVella, Commissioner Environment, Maritime Affairs & FisheriesBrussels, 05 March 2015
