Polic Brief 6: Scaling-up the Circular Economy – Recommendations for finance, regulation and required innovations

As opposed to all previous RECREATE Policy Briefs which were directly based on work carried out by one of the analytical tasks of the RECREATE, Policy Brief No. 6 is the product of a series of workshops and events that RECREATE coordinator JIIP has organised on the subject of “Financing and Entrepreneurship in the Circular Economy”. At these events, we first identified a number of specific issues and challenges that present themselves to entrepreneurs engaged or wanting to engage in “circular” businesses as well as to their potential financiers. In a second step, we discussed which measures can be taken from the regulatory and policy-making side in order to address these challenges. The present Policy Brief presents the results of this work.
