Circular economy - Eurostat facts and figures
A circular economy aims to maintain the value of products, materials and resources for as long as possible and minimise the generation of waste. The European Commission published on 16 January a Communication on the monitoring framework for the circular economy and an accompanying staff working document. In order to underpin this initiative, Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union, is launching a new website section dedicated to circular economy reporting all the indicators of the monitoring framework, updated with latest data, as well as supporting visualisation tools.
