Chemicals in a circular economy

This video explains how chemicals make up an essential part of a circular economy, how we need to make sure hazardous chemicals are properly dealt with and how the EU is promoting safer material cycles.

All materials around us, our furniture, computer screens, and the clothes we wear, are a mixture of different chemicals. A circular economy is about material cycles – how we use, re-use and dispose of materials, how we minimise waste and how we make the most of the resources generated by waste. Risks to our health or the environment should be avoided, so the use of hazardous chemicals in products should be reduced throughout their entire life cycle.
