Germany's €260M Circular Economy Plan Aims to Slash Waste by 2027
Germany’s coalition government has agreed on a new Circular Economy Action Program. The plan aims to shift the country from a linear to a circular economy by cutting waste and reusing materials more efficiently. Officials will present the final proposal to the cabinet next Wednesday for approval. The program, named Future Circular Economy, will receive €260 million in funding. An additional €305 million has been set aside for 2027–2030 to support projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions through better material use.
The government has outlined twelve priority areas for action. These include financial incentives for businesses, stricter rules on public procurement, and digital tools to track resource flows. All measures must be in place by the end of 2027.
The goal is to keep materials in use for longer, extract maximum value from them, and minimise waste. Authorities believe this approach will help meet climate targets while boosting economic resilience. If approved, the program will mark a major step in Germany’s environmental strategy. The funding and policy changes are designed to make production and consumption more sustainable. Implementation will begin once the cabinet gives its final backing next week.
