Europe presents itself as a global leader in the green transition and circular economy, promoting an image of environmental responsibility and exemplary regulation. This position is frequently used as an international reference for climate and sustainability policies.
However, the article draws attention to a deep inconsistency between this ambition and reality. The concrete example used is that of electronic waste, where Europe reveals significant contradictions in the application of its own circular economy principles.
As a champion of sustainability, Europe sets ambitious targets and regulations, but faces difficulties in implementing them, especially regarding the management of electronic waste. This discrepancy between discourse and practice raises questions about the credibility of European environmental policies.
