Brussels [Belgium], October 5 (ANI/WAM): A new Joint Research Centre (JRC) report shows how circular economy practices would contribute to substantially reducing greenhouse gas emissions in sectors such as plastics, steel, aluminium, cement and concrete. Improved materials management, including reduction, reuse and recovery measures, could help EU industry reduce between 189 and 231 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent per year.

Circularity measures could be particularly effective in reducing emissions in the steel sector (by 64 to 81 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent per year) and the plastics sector (75 to 84 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalent per year).

The JRC report ''Capturing the Potential of the Circular Economy Transition in Energy-Intensive Industries'' looks at the potential of c
