The European Parliament (EP) services have recently published a report for the EP Environmental, Public Health and Food Safety (ENVI) Committee on secondary raw materials for a circular economy. This report summarises four presentations by experts and discussions which took place at the workshop “Supporting the market for Secondary Raw Materials in a Circular Economy” held on 31 January 2017 in the EP in Brussels. The aim was to provide background information to the ENVI and Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE) Committees’ Members and contribute to their understanding of the role and opportunities for secondary raw materials as part of the implementation of the Circular Economy Action Plan, including the proposed waste legislation which are currently under discussion.
