 It is clear that humanity uses too many resources. In 2022, the ‘overshoot day’ was July 28, which means that to regenerate what humanity consumes today, we would need the equivalent of “1.75 Earths” in terms of area. As a result, the concept of circular economy, which was first pushed by environmental activists, is spreading more and more widely in society and in particular among political authorities: for example, the European Commission presented in 2022 two new packages of specific proposals, particularly with regard to packaging waste and on the generalization of the design of sustainable products.
