The hubs will scale EU recycling into an integrated network. Built around smart specialisation, hubs will pool cross-border waste and by-product streams, aggregate demand for secondary raw materials, and coordinate permitting, logistics and standards. They will identify strategic projects with Member States and industry, drawing on CRMA Strategic Projects, IPCEI-like instruments and blended finance (InvestEU/EIB) to reach bankable scale. Harmonised end-of-waste and by-product criteria, benchmarks for recyclates, and Digital Product Passports will improve traceability and uptake. The Hubs will support industrial symbiosis, infrastructure corridors, and streamline shipments, accelerating the shift from linear chains to a Single Market for circular feedstocks.
