​- Focus on the sectors that use most resources and where the potential for circularity is high such as: electronics and ICT; batteries and vehicles; packaging; plastics; textiles; construction and buildings; food; water and nutrients;
​- Ensure less waste;
​- Make circularity work for people, regions and cities,
​- Lead global efforts on circular economy.
