Last 26 of January the Executive Director of EFG, Isabel Fernández Fuentes, attended the European Commission’s Raw Materials Supply Group Plenary meeting. During the meeting Lie Heymans (DG GROW) presented the Raw Materials Scoreboard, an initiative of the European Innovation Partnership (EIP) on Raw Materials. Its purpose is to provide quantitative data on the EIP’s general objectives and on the raw materials policy context. It presents relevant and reliable information that can be used in policymaking in a variety of areas. The scoreboard will, for example, contribute to monitoring progress towards a circular economy, a crucial issue on which the European Commission recently adopted an ambitious action plan. The scoreboard will be published every two years. More information: https://bookshop.europa.eu
Another relevant report was presented by Paweł Kaźmierczyk from the European Environment Agency: “More From Less – material resource efficiency in Europe” – overview of resource efficiency and material use policies in 32 European countries.
