Here's a poll to round out your Friday 🗳️ 📊 How ready is your business to adjust to evolving regulations supporting the circular economy? Several key regulations and initiatives have been introduced across Europe to promote the circular economy. These include but are not limited to: 🌱 European Green Deal 🟢 Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP) ♻️ Waste Framework Directive ❌ Single-Use Plastics Directive 📦 Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive 📝 The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) These regulations and initiatives are part of the EU's broader strategy to transition towards a circular economy, where resource use is minimised, and materials are kept in use for as long as possible through recycling, re-use, and sustainable product design. With many moving parts in the EU's overall commitment to addressing climate change and transitioning towards a more sustainable and resilient economy, we want to better understand if you feel your business is well prepared to adapt to these changes? 🤔 #poll #circulareconomy #circularity #sustainability #climateaction #EU #regulations

❗️The average recycling rate of DAX companies is 69%, which means that 31% are not recycled. Conservatively calculated, this corresponds to at least 4 million tonnes of recyclables per year.❗️ Despite this, we're still seeing rising recycling rates across DAX companies compared to the year before. ♻️ As seen in our infographic based on data collated in Resourcify's Sustainability Index - In 2023, Infineon Technologies, BMW Group, Mercedes-Benz AG, Porsche AG, Daimler Truck AG and SAP reported near 100% recycling rates. 🥇 Infineon even saw one of the largest jumps from a 66% recycling rate reported in 2022, to topping the list at 100% in 2023. However, it should be noted that nearly all companies analysed in Resourcify's Sustainability Index included "thermal recovery" (waste incineration) within their definitions of recycling. 🤔 Should thermal recovery be included in the definition of recycling? What do you think? See our full Sustainability Index via the link in the comments to learn more on where DAX companies are at now 🔗 Note: Many companies are still not publicly reporting on key waste statistics. Since companies are not mandated to report on the volume of waste generated or recycling rates, 25% of DAX companies still do not provide this information publicly. #DAX #DACH #sustainability #report #circulareconomy #RSI #germany #circularity

❗️22 million tonnes of plastic leaked into the environment in 2019 (latest data available), with 19.4 Mt being macroplastics due to poor disposal practices.❗️ 💡 The vast majority (19.4 Mt) are macroplastics, and most (82%) found their way into the natural environment as a result of inadequate collection and disposal - aka poor waste management. Other leakage routes include littering or fly-tipping (5%), and marine activities (1%). 💡 Microplastics also make up a sizeable share of total leakage (12%), largely reaching the environment through wear to tyres and road markings, as well as the accidental loss of plastic pellets and washing of synthetic textile fibres. 🌏 Leakage occurs in all regions, but there are significant geographical differences in leakage drivers. OECD countries contribute 14% to the global leakage but 36% of microplastic leakage. Non-OECD countries account for 86% of the plastic leakage, driven mainly by the high amount of mismanaged waste ending up in the environment. 📈 Mismanaged waste leakage has doubled since 2000, highlighting the urgent need for better waste management in growing economies. Addressing these issues is crucial to combat persistent plastic pollution and rising microplastic leakage globally.

We don't think waste-to-energy incineration should be part of a Circular Economy and this is why.. 👇 While waste-to-energy incineration helps reduce landfill use, it doesn’t support the principles of a circular economy. Incineration destroys valuable materials that could be recycled, reducing opportunities for resource recovery and reuse. We believe truly embracing a circular economy means prioritise recycling, reusing, and reducing waste at the source. Do you agree? ♻️ Dive deeper into why waste-to-energy incineration isn’t the answer and explore other alternatives in our latest blog post. 🔗 Read more via the link in our comments! #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #WasteManagement #Recycling #GreenFuture #EnvironmentalImpact
