The new set of measures for circular economy, which the European Commission announced yesterday (December 2, 2015) does not live up to the expectations for more ambitious goals for establishing sustainable economy. The present ineffective linear economic model results in more waste products – consumer disposables, fast replaced, short-use objects, which are often not recycled. In the circular economy, materials are reused and are recycled, in order to reduce waste and their negative impact on human health and the environment.
