The European Commission has just released its Competitiveness Compass, which sets out what the EU needs to do in the next 5 years to enable its economy to flourish.
The circular economy is seen as part of the solution, with the Circular Economy Act planned for late 2026.

De meest filosofische periode van het jaar breekt aan. Hedendaagse filosofen schrijven gelukkig weer teksten die ergens over gaan en iets veranderen. "Teksten veranderen me als persoon, en hoe ik in de wereld sta", zegt Teun van Son. www.trouw.nl/religie-filo...
Filosoof Teun van Son: ‘Intimiteit is te belangrijk om aan seksuele relaties over te laten’
Filosoof Teun van Son (1995) doet promotieonderzoek naar ethiek. Zijn persoonlijke leefregel: ‘Wij zijn opgevoed om bang te zijn voor het ‘ja’ in onszelf’.
