In 2020, the EU published a Circular Economy Action Plan. This Action Plan is an important step in developing a truly circular economy in Europe.
EUROFER is holding a webinar on 3 February 2021, starting from 10:30. This webinar will explore the latest policy changes the EU is planning, and what they mean for the sustainability of products policy, resource efficiency and the EU’s climate change objectives.
As the EU’s circular action plan takes shape, it is more important than ever to identify the right policies to ensure that the right materials are used for the right applications, that they can be recovered, recycled and remanufactured, and that the absolute minimum of waste is produced from the cycle.
EUROFER’s views on how steel can support the circular economy were also be presented – arguing that steel is an excellent example of the circular economy in practice.

Brussels, 22 March 2024 – The future of a strong and resilient EU can only be forged with steel made in Europe. Europe-made low-carbon steel has a strategic role as it enables a net-zero economy, but today it faces strong headwinds from high energy prices, unfair competition, global overcapacity and growing unilateral carbon costs. The year 2023 has recorded the lowest European crude steel production levels ever, with a number of idled plants and dire impact on workers. Ensuring the enabling conditions for the short-term viability and the decarbonisation of the steel sector urgently needs to be at the top of the EU agenda. This is the message delivered by the European Steel Association together with a number of high-level representatives of the sector on the occasion of the Clean Transition Dialogue on Steel in the presence of the Executive Vice Presidents of the European Commission, Maroš Šefčovič and Margrethe Vestager.
