FEICA welcomes the Circular Economy Act as a key opportunity to support Europe’s transition to a resource‑efficient economy and strengthen the Single Market. It stresses the essential role of adhesives and sealants in enabling durability, repair, reuse and high‑quality recycling across value chains. FEICA calls for a harmonised EU‑wide legal basis under Article 114 to avoid fragmentation, recognition of mass balance accounting to enable circular and defossilised materials, technology‑ or feedstock‑neutral targets based on life‑cycle performance, and alignment across EPR schemes, ecodesign rules and Digital Product Passports to ensure legal certainty, scalability and investment readiness.

FEICA general position and principles on Digital Product Passports (DPPs)

FEICA supports the Digital Product Passport (DPP) as a harmonised EU tool to digitally provide legally required product information. To ensure legal certainty, innovation and competitiveness, DPPs should be fully EU‑harmonised, proportionate, technically feasible and protect commercially sensitive data. FEICA calls for minimal, relevant data requirements, harmonised terminology and IT standards, digitalised upstream information, and strong safeguards for data ownership, confidentiality and technical feasibility.
