The Nature Restoration Law FINALLY got approved by the European Council this morning! Congratulations to all of us and kudos to those who made an extra effort to make this happen. All is well that ends well. #NRL

Ecopreneur.eu - The European Sustainable Business Federation fully supports the business call to the European Council for signing off on and implementing the (already adopted!) #NatureRestorationLaw as soon as possible. Nature and biodiversity are crucial for business. The political pressure against the law is mainly power-driven, motivated by short-term financial revenues and interests only, the result of decades of policy neglect, and detrimental to all European citizens. And in addition, of course, restoration of nature is ultimately crucial for our survival.

📣 🌍 Green light of the European Parliament for the adoption of the #CSDDD! The Business for a Better Tomorrow coalition welcomes the adoption today by the European Parliament of the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive #CSDDD. This decision constitutes a major step towards more sustainable and human rights-respectful global value chains and the creation of a level-playing-field on responsible corporate conduct for large European companies. The Business for a Better Tomorrow coalition now calls on #EU ambassadors in COREPER to formally approve the text and to #EU Ministers to give the final political approval to enable publication of the #CSDDD in the #EU Official Journal. #EU #CSDDD

Make no mistake: The draft in its current form would offer an economic incentive for chemical recycling. Investments in mechanical recycling with much lower GHG emmissons would be cut and further innovation thwarted, thereby jeopardising around 4.4 million jobs in the European circular economy. Medium-sized and family-run companies that have already invested in high-quality mechanical recycling would be particularly affected. We therefore call on Members of the European Parliament to support this motion 🆗 #circulareconomy #wastemanagement #mechanicalrecycling #chemicalrecycling

📌 The ENVI Committee voted in favour of MEP Jutta Paulus's motion for resolution on the European Commission's draft Implementing Decision on the mass balance approach under the #SUPD! 👉 This is great news, why? It means the objection will be voted on during next week's plenary session. 👉 Why is the Commission's draft in its current form an issue? 📍It will create an uneven playing field between recycling technologies. 📍It goes against the objectives of the SUPD to promote a circular economy. 📍It will hinder consumers's ability to make sustainable decisions.

Looking forward to a lively debate on “The Future of the Textile Industry” at HANNOVER MESSE Events next week Thursday. With the mandatory separate collection in 2025 and the resulting boost of textile waste streams, we need to shift from “regulation to reality”. The question to discuss is “How?” Are markets prepared to actually embrace this challenge? Would mandatory #recycling quotas, recycled content targets or harmonised #EPR schemes do the trick? Are consumers prepared to change their #fastfashion habits? Let's discuss. With me on the panel will be Dirk Vantyghem from EURATEX - European Apparel and Textile Confederation, Valérie Boiten from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and our moderator and host William Neale from the European Commission’s EU Environment and Climate Directorate.
