The 2024 #CircularityGapReport makes it clear that we need to extract fewer virgin materials and consume less: over the past five years consumption has reached an all-time high — and circularity has fallen by 21% 📉

Circle Economy Foundation argue that concrete policies like extended producer responsibility (#EPR) will prove essential in driving measurable, circular action on packaging design — and help reverse current consumption trends ⏮

Accurate waste data (especially on branded products) provides the final piece of the puzzle:
🏛 For regulators to target and enforce those policies, they’ll need to know whether products are being recycled.
🌱 For packaging producers and brands to design more recyclable products, they'll need to be aware of their recyclability and monitor their post-consumption fate.
