According to the European Commission’s New Circular Economy Action Plan, the involvement of communities and citizens, taking into account their role as consumers and users, is a key part of the European Union’s action plan to accelerate the transition to a new “circular” model.
By acting in accordance with the logic of “circularity” and making conscious choices, consumers can not only reduce their own environmental footprint, but also drive change in companies and the way they produce and deliver products and services.
Every idea matters and every idea can make a difference.
