The document discusses the role of eco-design in achieving a circular economy, noting that ACR+ is a network of over 90 local and regional authorities from 23 countries that works to promote circular economy principles. It explains that local and regional authorities can support the circular economy through eco-design by establishing permitting criteria, providing training, and engaging in green public procurement to boost eco-innovation among small and medium enterprises.
