🗓️ Expected in 2026, the EU Circular Economy Act is set to revolutionise how industries manage resources, reduce waste, and compete globally. Proposed by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and spearheaded by Commissioner Jessika Roswall, this legislation will tackle critical challenges like resource shortages, waste issues, and global competition. At its core, the Act will harmonise circular economy policies, foster innovation, and drive investment in transformative sectors such as renewable energy, packaging, and recycling infrastructure. It aims to make Europe a global leader in sustainability and CO2 neutrality by 2050. Why does it matter for your business? • Regulatory compliance: Expect stricter standards for product design, waste management, and sustainability. • Opportunities: Financial incentives, harmonised regulations, and competitive advantages for circular practices. • Risks: Non-compliance could lead to increased costs, fines, and reputational damage. What’s next? With a formal proposal expected in 2026, businesses should start preparing now.

📅 On 16 December 2024, the Council of the European Union formally adopted the Regulation on Packaging and Packaging Waste (PPWR). This bold new regulation is designed to reduce packaging waste, mandate recyclability, and champion reuse, steering businesses towards a more circular economy. The PPWR introduces significant changes that will directly affect manufacturers, retailers, and e-commerce platforms. Here’s why it matters: 🔍 Adaptation is key: businesses must align with new packaging design, reuse systems, and recyclability standards. 🚀 Competitive edge: early adopters can position themselves as sustainability leaders, appealing to eco-conscious consumers and partners. ⚠️ Compliance risks: non-compliance could lead to fines, market restrictions, and reputational damage. Discover how this evolving legislation will reshape the packaging landscape and what your organisation can do today to prepare for its implementation in 2026. 📖 Read the full blog post here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eZ7GmXbd Have questions or concerns about the PPWR?

🎉 What an eventful 2024!     As the year draws to a close, we at Publyon want to share our heartfelt thanks to our clients, partners, and colleagues. We are all incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication our team has shown this year and deeply value the relationships we’ve built and nurtured along the way.    This year has been quite dynamic from a political angle - first elections across and beyond the EU and now the formation of a new College of Commissioners that has just paved the way to a fresh new chapter. Looking ahead to 2025, we’re excited to support the EU’s efforts to unite the green transition and competitiveness, with the Clean Industrial Deal as the strategy to make it work.     To wrap up this remarkable year, we’re sharing a photo of our team’s festive Christmas celebration—though we promise their smiles aren’t just because the holidays are near! 😉    We are looking forward to our continued cooperation in the new year.
