Circularity Study: Accelerating the circular transformation

Can the circular economy be Europe's next competitive advantage - and is your company ready to lead the change?

Despite facing global challenges, climate goals, and shifting markets, the European chemical industry keeps leading in the transition towards more circular value chains through innovation and investments. Together with Cefic (European Chemical Industry Council) we conducted a circularity study highlighting the progress made in the chemical industry, remaining challenges, and strategies for scaling and commercialising circular solutions.

The study "Accelerating the Circular Transformation: Insights, challenges & pathways for the chemical industry & beyond" is developed by the industry for the industry, emphasising on best practices from chemical companies and across value networks.

We hope the report will inspire you and your company to join us in building a circular future.

Have a look, enjoy reading and we look forward to exchanging ideas with you, because "the time to act is now".

"The chemical industry is already a powerful catalyst in advancing the circular economy — turning waste into value and data into action. Yet, to unlock the full potential of this transformation, we must foster new capabilities, embrace innovations, and embed circularity into business models. It will take bold first movers and a collective societal shift to turn vision into lasting impact."
