CLG Europe’s Materials and Products Taskforce hosted an event highlighting the critical role of a circular European economy in meeting EU climate goals and showcasing the Taskforce's work, launched at COP26.

During the event, CLG Europe published its policy briefing, "Green Circularity: Advancing the EU’s climate goals through a Circular Economy," which outlines challenges and recommendations for policymakers to accelerate the circular transition. Read the full publication here.

The Taskforce unites businesses committed to sustainable materials, driving policy action and supporting EU decarbonization measures. While welcoming the EU’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Product Regulation, it emphasizes addressing broader challenges businesses face in achieving circularity.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation's Miranda Schnitger explained the crucial link between the circular economy, COP27, and climate change legislation. The circular economy, championed by the UK charity, is a design-driven system that eliminates waste and pollution, circulates products and materials, and regenerates nature.

The global food system generates 20-30% of greenhouse gas emissions, largely from production. Conventional rice production, a staple for over half the world, alone generates emissions equivalent to global aviation. The System of Rice Intensification (SRI) offers an agroecological solution.

SRI employs simple interventions to significantly reduce water use, methane, and chemicals, while boosting yields and cutting labor. Currently 4% of rice production, scaling SRI to 25% could reduce emissions equivalent to India's total output.
