It defines how products are designed, promotes the circular economy, encourages sustainable consumption and aims to ensure that waste is avoided and the resources used remain in the EU economy for as long as possible.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CEAP focuses on those sectors of the economy that consume the most resources and are best suited to keeping materials and products in circulation. It also includes specific measures in the following areas: Electronics, information and communication technologies (ICT), batteries and vehicles, packaging, plastics, textiles, food, construction and buildings. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-7-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\"><sup>15<\/sup> <a href=\"https:\/\/environment.ec.europa.eu\/topics\/circular-economy\/first-circular-economy-action-plan_en\">environment.ec.europa.eu: Circular economy action plan<\/a><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-theme-palette-7-background-color has-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Copyright<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This document is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License as Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike<br\/>For more information see: <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/4.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bau_Zirku_Fig25.png\" alt=\"Creative Commons\"\/><\/figure> \n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":6827,"menu_order":13,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","_is_vendor_doc":"0","footnotes":""},"doc_tag":[],"class_list":["post-6796","docs","type-docs","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO Pro 5.0.3 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP)15 is one of the most important building blocks of the European Green Deal.
