Envirnment & Circular Economy latest activities
A circular economy is a key enabler of the ambitious climate and environmental commitments of the European Green Deal. The European Furniture Industries strongly support the transition to a circular economy and are ready to be involved in making it a reality. However, a true circular economy can only be achieved through collaboration and requires the involvement of many actors, including policymakers, industry, experts, academia and consumers.
