CIRCULÉIRE Industry Stakeholder Consultation on National Circular Economy Strategies

This survey is being circulated on behalf of CIRCULÉIRE – the National Platform for Circular Manufacturing, to ensure that the priorities of Irish industry ecosystem stakeholders feed into our submissions on two upcoming circular economy Government consultations:

  1. DECC’s National Circular Economy Strategy 
  2. EPA’s Circular Economy Programme  
These two consultations present an important opportunity for Irish industry to have its voice heard about the top barriers, and actions that Government could take to support your company or sectors’ transition to circularity.

The survey takes approximately 8 - 10 minutes to complete, and your anonymised answers will be collated and used to inform CIRCULÉIRE’s submission to these consultations.

Deadline for completion is COB June 1st, 2021.
