Circular economy strategy expected in 2026
Defra Secretary Emma Reynolds has confirmed the government’s circular economy strategy for England is now expected to be unveiled this year.
This marks a delay from the initial plan to begin the public consultation on the strategy in autumn 2025.
The forthcoming strategy – which is now being called the ‘Circular Economy Growth Plan’ – will be based on the work of the Circular Economy Taskforce.
Circular Economy Taskforce
The Taskforce was established in December 2024 to design the first framework for England’s transition to a circular economy.
