THE EU-INDIA RESOURCE Efficiency AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY PARTNERSHIP

Supported by the European Union India – Resource Efficiency Circular Economy Initiative (EUI-RECEI)

About EU-REI

Increasing resource consumption to sustain India’s robust economic growth has meant an increase in the extraction of primary raw materials by about 420% between 1970 and 2010, dominated by the extraction of abiotic materials (minerals and metals). India’s material demand in 2010 was the 3rd largest in the world, after that of China and the United States, with a consumption of about 7.2% of globally extracted raw materials in that year.

The transition to a resource-efficient and circular economy is essential for the sustainability of EU and India’s economic growth and requires working together for a global systemic shift. At the 15th EU-India Summit in July 2020, the EU and India adopted a Joint Declaration to establish an ‘India-EU Resource Efficiency and Circular Economy Partnership’. The objective of partnership is to support and strengthen dialogue and cooperation on resource efficiency and circular economy by bringing together representatives of relevant stakeholders from both sides, including governments, businesses (including start-ups), academia and research institutes. EU’s Resource Efficiency Initiative acts as an important vehicle for taking forward the partnership.
