It supports efforts to keep global warming below 2C, ensuring that businesses contribute to sustainable growth while reducing their carbon footprint.<\/p>\n<h3>Promoting circularity in construction<\/h3>\n<p>Reconomy\u2019s regulatory framework lays out a path to addressing the urgent need for new initiatives to drive waste separation in the sector, end landfill and incineration as easy disposal methods, incentivise responsible waste management and keep resources in circulation.<\/p>\n<p>It places businesses at the heart of the transition to a circular economy by ensuring reforms are structured, consistent and aligned with sustainable growth strategies, simplifying the system and stimulating investment.<\/p>\n<p>In a sector where waste volumes are immense and environmental stakes are high, Reconomy\u2019s framework provides a roadmap for the future \u2013 one where the construction industry can thrive while safeguarding the planet.<\/p>\n<div
