Synergies between circularity, life-cycle approaches and the objectives of the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm Conventions

This information note seeks primarily to support national focal points of the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm Conventions and national focal points of the 10YFP to explore the synergies between the provisions and objectives of the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm Conventions with circular economy and life-cycle approaches. It includes a non-exhaustive list of potential policy interventions to advance the objectives of the conventions and circular economy approaches.

This information note was developed in 2025 by the 10YFP Secretariat and the BRS Secretariat with the financial support of the European Commission and the Ministry of Environment of Denmark.
