there were three. The EU’s transition to a circular economy will reduce pressure on natural resources, create sustainable growth and jobs, and is necessary to achieve the EU’s 2050 climate neutrality target and to halt biodiversity loss.</p> <p>Moving away from the linear “take-make-use-dispose” model and transitioning to a regenerative growth model is essential to keep resource consumption within planetary boundaries. In a circular economy, the value of products, materials and resources is maintained in the economy for as long as possible, and the generation of waste is minimized.</p> <p>The current linear economy continually increases its demands of scarce natural resources. By using and consuming in a more circular way, we can substantially reduce the impacts of human economic activities on the environment, including on biodiversity.</p> <p>To accelerate the EU’s transition to a circular economy, the European Commission adopted the <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/environment/strategy/circular-economy-action-plan_en">new circular economy action plan</a> in March 2020.</p></div> </div> <div class="ecl-u-mb-2xl"> <a id="paragraph_1422"></a> <div class="ecl-fact-figures ecl-fact-figures--col-3" ><div class="ecl-fact-figures__items"><div
