ECO-RESOURCES MANAGEMENT AND THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY.

Eco - Efficiency of resource use is to produce more value with fewer resources and change our consumption habits. This will limit the risk of shortages and maintain environmental impact in the planet's natural limits. It is a general principle that applies to all natural resources from food, timber and biodiversity to energy, metals, soil, water, minerals, air and earth. Increasing resource efficiency in Europe is a means by which the objectives of economic policy, social and environmental development can achieve easier, safer and more cost effectively.
