The core principles of the European Green Deal are to transform the European Union (EU) into a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy, ensuring no net emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050. The drive from the Commission is to make almost all physical goods on the EU market more sustainable, from design to everyday use and reuse, moving from a ‘take-make-replace’ economic model to a circular model that is resource-efficient.
