There will be no circularity without fairness and social sustainability at its core- Press release on the circular package 1

The Fair Trade Advocacy Office welcomes the publication of the first policy package of the Circular Economy Action Plan, but regrets the large focus on environmental sustainability, being blind to the essential role that social and economic sustainability play in the road towards transition to circular economies. 

In this press release the FTAO shares its view on the sustainable products initiative, the EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles and the empowering consumers for the green transition proposal for Directive.
