The Circular Economy Taskforce’s expertise will enable co-design of the first strategy to begin the transition to a circular economy in England. The strategy will:
support economic growth
create green jobs
promote efficient and productive use of resources
accelerate the transition to net zero emissions
The key objectives of the taskforce are to identify and assess mechanisms that can underpin a Circular Economy Strategy for England; through which the UK government, industry and civil society can:
drive economic growth by stimulating investment in technologies, sectors and infrastructure that enable resource circularity
create jobs across the circular economy and bolster the security of supply chains
increase resource efficiency and productivity
reduce emissions and accelerate to net zero
contribute to the government’s missions to kickstart economic growth and make Britain a clean energy superpower, in particular supporting delivery of the UK government’s Industrial Strategy and refreshed Carbon Budget Delivery Plan
