Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Welcomes the Commission’s new Circular Economy Action Plan which highlights the role ofimportance of tackling construction and building materials inas they generate generating over 35 % of the EU’s total waste; notes that a streamlined approach should be taken in EU legislation to recovery, recycling,renovating existing buildings requires fewer materials per square meter than constructing new buildings; believes that the impact of the buildings across their full life- cycle assessment and to taking ccounting for bothe embodied energy in building materials into accountand operational carbon must be streamlined into EU legislation;

Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Believes that a circular economy labelling system, based on environmthe recycled content and recyclability potential standards and criteria for materials linked to their potof construction products should become mandatory criteria to be declared under CE marking (thus to be considered under the CPR revision); Environmential for reintroduction into the value chain, should be establisheimpacts of products over their entire life cycle should be declared in verified EPDs made in accordance with the EN185804-A2 standard;

Paragraph 6 a (new)
Paragraph 6 a (new)
6a. Stresses that all buildings should, at trigger points in their lifetime and before 2050 at the very latest, be deep energy renovated using the best and most energy efficient materials and products to transform them to become energy positive buildings that produce more renewable energy in a year than their overall energy consumption for a year;

Paragraph 8 a (new)
8a. Emphasises that mortgage loans for the purchase of existing inefficient buildings and the use of energy performance contracting (EPC) should be conditional on the purchaser making a binding, time-limited commitment to invest in the deep energy renovation of the building to transform it to an energy positive building that produces more renewable energy in a year than their overall energy consumption for a year;
