The obligations for companies and how they can measure their circularity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Circular Economy has as its <strong>first<\/strong> <strong>objective<\/strong> to reduce the consumption of raw materials by reusing recycled material, avoiding as much as possible the waste of resources and reducing the environmental impact generated by production. To achieve this, it is necessary for companies to review their production and consumption styles, based on the creation of synergies between the same departments or between different companies.<br>In this way, they will be able to generate a multiplicity of values through:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The <strong>sustainable design <\/strong>of easily repairable products, with recycled materials and easy to dispose of once they reach the end of their life;<\/li><li>The <strong>optimization <\/strong>of use of <strong>resources <\/strong>in the production phase and in the procurement phase, preferring the recycled materials market;<\/li><li>The progressive <strong>decrease <\/strong>of the production of <strong>waste <\/strong>and the start of a recovery chain rather than disposal.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These principles are able to ensure a renewal of the material by not wasting it and building production cycles in analogy with the natural ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the interest on the part of companies in reviewing their supply chain, their production process and the purpose life of their products to make a transition to the circular economy, they will also have to pay attention to the continuous change of the <strong>regulatory environment <\/strong>in these sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/circularity.com\/circular_guide\/limpresa-come-protagonista\/\">TEACHING UNIT 1 <\/a>: (\u201c<strong> The Company as a protagonist <\/strong>\u201c) introduces the path that the European Commission has traced with various tools and directives to encourage the Circular Economy. In addition to being a change of course that the industrial sectors of the member countries must undertake, they are also regulatory obligations that must be respected in order to encourage the renewal of the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The new obligations for businesses<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201c<strong> Circular Economy Package <\/strong>\u201d is a regulatory instrument envisaged by the EU Action Plan which modifies the main EU rules on <strong>waste <\/strong>, namely:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Directive 2018\/849 \/ EU amending Directives 2000\/53 \/ EC (end-of-life vehicles), 2006\/66 \/ EC (batteries, accumulators and related waste), 2012\/19 \/ EU (WEEE, waste electrical and electronic equipment).<\/li><li>Directive 2018\/850 \/ EU amending Directive 1999\/31 \/ EC (landfills of waste);<\/li><li>Directive 2018\/851 \/ EU amending Directive 2008\/98 \/ EC (Waste Framework Directive);<\/li><li>Directive 2018\/852 \/ EU amending Directive 94\/62 \/ EC (packaging and packaging waste).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The four new directives have been in force since 4 July 2018 but the inserted rules, not having direct effect in the legal systems of the member states, must be implemented by the individual EU countries through their own provisions.

A fundamental role is the one assumed by companies and the world of production, whose role must be refounded according to the need to guarantee a <strong>lower environmental impact <\/strong>and a <strong>greater social and economic development <\/strong>.<br>Equally necessary is the change that must take place in the consumption model, where the behavior of citizens-consumers must be more inspired by models of social and environmental sustainability.Taking as a reference objective 12 of the SDG\u2019s for Sustainable Development, one of the 6 objectives that represent the circular economy detailed in the <a href=\"https:\/\/circularity.com\/circular_guide\/i-principi-delligianato-circolare\/\">TEACHING UNIT 2 <\/a>(\u201c<strong>The Principles of Circular Economy <\/strong>\u201c), it is clear that we must think about the profound questioning of the consolidated economic system up to now, as it is based on a linear model: that is, a model in which the manufacturing companies have as their sole interest the increase in sales and the placing on the market as many products as possible, without worrying about their end of life and without thinking about what possible damage their products may cause on the environment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-evidenzio-columns business_model_canvas has-colore-tema-2-color has-gradiente-fasce-verticale-gradient-background has-text-color has-background\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-evidenzio-column col-12 col-md-12 col-lg-12\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/circularity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Economia-lineare-UD3-1024x324-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3728\" width=\"888\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/circularity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Economia-lineare-UD3-1024x324-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/circularity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Economia-lineare-UD3-1024x324-1-300x95.png 300w, https:\/\/circularity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Economia-lineare-UD3-1024x324-1-768x243.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 888px) 100vw, 888px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>This model seems to foresee a management indifference at its extremes, where in the <strong>procurement <\/strong>phase there is no concern about drawing heavily on natural resources, thus without worrying about their availability in the long term.

This approach reflects the waste management hierarchy envisaged by Directive 2008\/98 \/ EC, in which a precise order of priority is established, to underline that for the European legislator it is not equivalent to apply methods that reduce waste at source or to have identified a series of sites where to go to bury the waste once it has been collected, albeit according to all the legal criteria and with all the attention to the environment.<br>According to this logic, the first \u2013 and most important \u2013 action to address the issue of waste is <strong>not to produce<\/strong>.<br>Working for a reduction of waste at source, thanks to an ever deeper attention to the design of the products, which must be conceived in such a way as to allow easy separation of the materials used, which must subsequently be able to be sent for recovery and to reuse. A company must become <strong>aware <\/strong>of the different approach to be taken in the production and market positioning phase, first of all understanding its positioning in the circular economy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-evidenzio-columns\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-evidenzio-column col-12 col-md-12 col-lg\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:uppercase\"><strong><strong>Measurement and environmental impact of the company<\/strong><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The question that arises spontaneously to a manager who wants to change course of his own reality, is how to be able to understand what is the <strong>level of circularity <\/strong>and what are the positive or negative externalities that your company generates.
