Regulating the circular economy within the ecodesign directive: Progress so far, methodological challenges and outlook

Davide Polverini

Summary: The policies related to the Circular Economy are currently being intensively implemented in the European Union with a central role attributed to the Ecodesign Directive. This paper analyzes the scope and expected impacts of Ecodesign requirements on material efficiency aspects at the EU level, identifies research priorities, and provides tools for policymakers to achieve more ambitious Circular Economy objectives. Regulatory approaches and areas for policy intervention are also devised to further enable Circular Economy goals within the framework of the Ecodesign Directive.

Global E-waste management: Can WEEE make a difference? A review of e-waste trends, legislation, contemporary issues and future challenges

Olanrewaju S. Shittu et al.

Summary: The review highlights the importance of effective waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) management in contributing to Sustainable Development Goals and a circular economy. It discusses current global trends in WEEE generation, legislation, and policies, as well as future scenarios. Key concerns include stockpiling of WEEE devices and challenges in regulation and enforcement. Recommendations for improving global WEEE management include incorporating circular economy principles, extending legislation, and harmonizing key terms and definitions.

How to Reach a Safe Circular Economy?-Perspectives on Reconciling the Waste, Product and Chemicals Regulation

Joonas Alaranta et al.

Summary: This article discusses the regulation of 'substances of concern' in the Circular Economy in the European Union. It argues for erasing the border between waste and chemicals regulation and creating a unified regulatory regime. Regulatory actions addressing the risks posed by substances of concern in waste-based material flows are urgently needed.
