European Topic Centres (ETC) are centres of thematic expertise designated by the European Environment Agency (EEA) with the aim of facilitating the provision of data, information and knowledge, and deliver reports and other services to the EEA and its network EIONET.

The ETC on Circular Economy and Resource Use is aimed at further developing the evidence base for transitioning to a circular economy, taking into account also wider green economy considerations by looking at impacts of resource use on human health and wellbeing. The consortium, formed by 13 European organisations and led by VITO, will operate under a framework partnership agreement for the period 2022 -2026.
