Circular economy enhances resource efficiency through better utilisation
and recycling of materials and reduces impacts on climate and environment. This can also reduce dependence on materials and reduce
supply chain vulnerability. At the same time, it can create competitive
advantages through new business models and access to markets with
requirements for responsible use of resources.
