Circular Economy Sample Clauses
The Circular Economy clause establishes requirements for parties to adopt sustainable practices that prioritize resource efficiency, waste reduction, and the reuse or recycling of materials throughout the lifecycle of products or services. In practice, this clause may require suppliers to design products for durability, facilitate take-back schemes, or use recycled content in manufacturing. Its core function is to promote environmental responsibility and reduce the environmental impact of business operations by embedding circular economy principles into contractual obligations.

Circular Economy. 1. The Parties shall prevent or minimise the generation of waste at source. They shall improve product reusability, recyclability and resource efficiency in order to adapt production and consumption to the achievement of a circular economy, including through adequate waste collection and sorting services and environmentally sound recycling initiatives and facilities. They undertake to adopt policies on the circular economy in order to protect the environment and human health, make products more energy- and resource-efficient, broaden consumer choice and improve waste management.
2. The Parties shall establish the necessary domestic regulatory frameworks and enforcement mechanisms for the environmentally sound management of chemicals and waste and for the implementation of the relevant multilateral agreements. They shall take the necessary measures to combat dumping and illegal trade in hazardous waste, including radioactive materials, chemical and organic waste, in conformity with the provisions of the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Waste and their Disposal and taking into consideration the provisions of the Bamako Convention on the Ban of the Import into Africa and the Control of Transboundary Movement and Management of Hazardous Wastes within Africa. They shall prevent or minimise hazardous substances in material cycles and manage chemicals in products throughout their lifecycle. They shall support informed decision-making on appropriate measures to protect the environment and human health, including against pollution resulting from inappropriately managed waste, and to remediate associated environmental damage.
3. The Parties shall effectively address all forms of pollution. They shall take measures aimed at the detection, prevention and reporting of pollution. They shall increase efforts to prevent plastic pollution and to remove plastics and micro-plastics from the environment. They shall explore opportunities for strengthened cooperation on combating air pollution. They shall raise awareness of the public health and environmental risks of pollution and the multiple benefits of improved air quality, including through public outreach campaigns.
Circular Economy. The circular economy is making progress in the USA, Asia and England, but it is lagging in progress in Scotland. We will work with key Scottish businesses to promote the development of renewable materials from underutilized diverse sources. This will support a shift from a linear ("take-make- dispose") economy to one that keeps resources in use for as long as possible, a shift which has inspired innovations, activism and policies that could move us closer to this idealistic goal. We are planning to develop a long-term strategic partnership with biorefining related industries, universities and relevant stakeholders (e.g., farmers) in Scotland to use agricultural and dairy waste and transform them into high-value sustainable materials for the circular economy. The partnership will be aligned with potential research proposals (UKRI, IUK, EU) to enhance this strategic development for SRUC and ensure the transfer of knowledge developed in biorefining innovations. Economically utilising other forms of waste is also a key issue for Scottish farms, and we will run KE activities which optimise use.
Circular Economy. A circular economy is an economic system aimed at eliminating waste and the continual use of resources. Circular business models promote reusing, repairing, refurbishing, and recycling existing materials and products as long as possible. • Key Aspects: • Design for Longevity: Designing products with longer lifecycles and greater reusability.
Circular Economy. How is it possible, i.e. under what conditions and through which investments, to look at a circular economy capable of representing fertile ground for strengthening the sustainable growth and competitiveness of SMEs, particularly in the agri-food sector, renewing the tradition of attractiveness of local products and guaranteeing high quality agri-food production?
Circular Economy. In a EU Australia FTA, businesses that fulfill the circular economy between EU and Australia should be considered in the list of items. Businesses that have critical facilities between EU and Australia should be allowed to trade items between the parties under an FTA condition. Especially with the risk of counter-vailing, a circular economy consideration in an FTA would better implement a feature of economic security. In such cases, when a business is facing threats of counter-vailed competition, it would affect its supply chain and thereby would raise a concern for the balance of trade in a free trading environment. Businesses that provide established products and services between EU and Australia, with certain parts or services being developed or provided from either economy, should be provided an advantage from a EU Australia FTA. Such businesses would consist of both non- financial sector businesses such as manufacturers or providers of specific services, who would be countered on such products or services being made available between the two economies in a regulated manner. Financial sector businesses such as banks and insurance services would also be considered such that any financial advantage from counter-vailed products or services that may intersect, obstacle or prevent the circular flow of such dependent products or services, are accounted for accurately as per the expectations of the connected EU Australia market in a Free Trade environment. An EU Australia FTA should provide a trade advantage for businesses that operate in a circular economy product or service delivery. An EU Australia FTA should provide a trade advantage for such financial services that provide assurances against counter-vailed products and services that damage the business interests of businesses in EU and Australia from forming a circular economy.
Circular Economy. Intention is that all materials used in NSPs construction should fulfil the requirements of Circular Economy. The goal of this is to eliminate waste and the continual consumption of resources. Circular systems employ reuse, sharing, repair, refurbishment, remanufacturing and recycling to create a closed-loop system, minimising the use of resource inputs and the creation of waste, pollution and carbon emissions.

Circular Economy. Implementing the government-wide circular economy programme and the transition agendas set out in the Raw Materials Agreement is an important part of meeting our climate commitments. In this regard, the government will place extra emphasis on developing and sharing knowledge and best practices. The government will also identify bottlenecks to sustainable innovation in legislation, supervision and enforcement, and see whether these can be resolved.
Circular Economy. Cooperating and exchanging information on the transition to a circular economy, especially regarding the sectors of (plastic) packaging, textiles, the built environment, and vehicles, recognizing the importance of the role of the private sector in steering this transition in their supply chains; and • Sharing best practices on public-private partnerships, as well as market incentives and other economic development tools, that advance the transition towards a circular economy.
Circular Economy. 1. The Parties recognize that the circular economy offers a systemic approach to adopting sustainable consumption and production patterns. The Parties further recognize the role that international trade can play in the transition to a circular economy, including facilitating the movement of secondary materials and related goods and services through global supply chains.
2. Consistent with Article 13.24, the Parties shall cooperate, as appropriate, to address matters of mutual interest to advance
