Targets
Resource Input
Existing, Planning
  1. Halve the use of primary abiotic raw materials by 2030
  • Government-wide Programme for a Circular Economy
Resource Use
Planning
  1. Planning on formulating specific targets for input, use (life span), substitution and recycling/reuse.
  • Expected end of 2022
Resource Circulation
Existing
  1. Fully circular economy by 2050
  • Government-wide Programme for a Circular Economy; Circular Economy Implementation Programme
Environmental Impact In The Context Of Circular Economy / Resource Efficiency
Planning
  1. Planning on formulating specific targets for CO2 eq emission reduction, biodiversity, pollution of the environment and supply risks.
  • Expected end of 2022

We’re expecting to publish the progress we’re making to formulate targets by the end of 2022.
