Waste management and Circular economy / sustainable production and consumption

In 2018, Greece adopted a National Circular Economy Strategy and a two-year action plan, later extended to 2023. It is consistent with the 2015 EU Action Plan for the Circular Economy and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The pillars of this strategy are sustainable resource management, support of circular economy and circular consumption.
The long-term (2030) goals of the National Action Plan on Circular Economy can be summarized as follows:
• moving up the waste hierarchy by focusing on preventing waste and improving recycling
• supporting circular entrepreneurship by promoting “industrial symbiosis” and business clusters
• supporting circular consumption patterns of re-using, re-storing and re-pairing rather than buying new products, especially for electrical and electronic devices
• enhancing multi-stakeholder partnerships across industry, academia, and civil society
• monitoring progress towards a circular economic model through SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound) indicators.
The short-term actions involve regulatory and legislative reforms (e.g. setting standards on secondary materials, promoting green public procurement), financing and financial incentives, know-how and information actions and governance actions.
A dedicated Inter-ministerial Working Group has been set up to coordinate planning and implementation of the National Circular Economy Strategy and its action plan, steered by the Ministry of Environment and Energy (MoEE) and composed by representatives from the other Ministries. The country also established a multi-stakeholder forum to promote circular economy business models and innovations.
While the national action plan on circular economy is in the course of revision, a national circular economy roadmap is under development, in line with the 2020 European Circular Economy Action Plan (COM/2020/98 final).
