L’économie circulaire en France

The Circular Economy roadmap of France announced 50 measures for a 100% circular economy. The transition towards a circular economy is a key project of the ecological and social transition of France. The linear model — producing, consuming, discarding — is inevitably leading us towards the depletion of the planet’s resources.

The French government sees the need to move towards a different type of economy, where we consume in moderation, where products have a longer lifetime, where we limit waste, and where we are able to transform waste into new resources.

This transition is a genuine societal project whose aim is to move away from the throw-away society. 

It invites the people of France to change the way they lead their lives and to invent new and more sustainable production and consumption methods. 

The French roadmap includes four key priority areas: 

  • better production

  • better consumption

  • better waste management

  • engaging all stakeholders

As EFEC works with 17 partners across 7 countries of the European Union to develop a new project for the North Sea Region Programme, we are delighted to find that France is now a member country for this region. We have been really pleased to find several partners from Brittany, Normandy and Hauts de France.

Their focus makes a clear response to the national lead. They perceive the vital need for ‘stakeholder’ engagement: national and local policies only work if people respond to their aims. We see interest in these regions in food, industrial innovation and tourism and we await the outcome of the Expression of Interest phase with all our partners with great hope!
