(1a) A clean, effective and sustainable circular economy requires the removal of hazardous substances from products at the design stage and in this context circular economy should recognise explicit provisions in the Seventh Environment Action Programme which calls for the development of non-toxic material cycles so that recycled waste can be used as a major, reliable source of raw material for the Union.

Recital 10
(10) Waste prevention is the most efficient way to improve resource efficiency and to reduce the environmental impact of waste and promote recycling of materials of high quality. An important aspect of waste prevention is the reduction and information of hazardous substances in materials and products. It is important therefore that Member States take appropriate measures to prevent waste generation including measures that reduces the presence of hazardous substances and monitor and assess progress in the implementation of such measures. In order to ensure a uniform measurement of the overall progress in the implementation of waste prevention measures, common indicators should be established.

Recital 14 a (new)
(14a) The role of the social economy enterprises and associations in the re-use and preparing for re-use sector needs to be acknowledged and consolidated. The new regulatory framework established by the Circular Economy Package must safeguard these stakeholders' ability to continue their work in the reuse and preparing for reuse sector. Member States should take the necessary measures to promote the role of the social economy enterprises in this sector, including, when appropriate, economic instruments, social and environmental clauses in public procurement criteria, facilitated access to waste collection points, and any other economic or regulatory incentives designed to encourage reuse networks working to meet social and waste management objectives to be set up and maintained.
