| | (2a) | The industrial landscape has substantially changed in recent years, as a result of technology advances and of increasing globalised flows of merchandise. Those factors pose new challenges to the management and treatment of waste that is environmentally responsible that should be addressed by a combination of increased research efforts and of targeted regulatory tools. Planned obsolescence is an expanding issue, intrinsically contradictory with the goals of a circular economy, and therefore should be addressed with the objective of rooting it out, through a concerted effort of all main stakeholders, industry, customers and regulatory authorities. |
