Current situation
• European manufacturing costs: 40% on raw materials + 10% on
energy and water vs 20% on labour
• Only 29% of European SMEs have introduced measures for
saving energy or raw materials (vs 46% of large enterprises).
• Only 4% of EU SMEs have a comprehensive energy efficiency
system in place (vs 19% for large enterprises)
• BUT SMEs represent 99% of businesses, 66% of jobs and +50%
of private added value in Europe
-> competitiviness gap and survival thread

EU strategy
• Current strategy promoting Resource Efficiency and Circular
Economy
• Integrated with the EU2020 Lisboa agenda to build smart,
sustainable and inclusive growth for Europe
• Investing heavily on R&D (FP8 = Horizon2020)
• Connected with other international initiatives: OECD (GG), UNIDO
(SI), UNEP (GE)…
• Existing policies currently being revised by the new commission ->
uncertainties about the circular economy package

Resource Efficiency
• One of the seventh Europe 2020 flagship initiatives
• Leaded by DG Environment
• Potential ressources saving of €630 billion per year
Initiative linked with:
• 2020 energy package (energy efficiency and climate change)
• multi-stakeholders and cross-sectorial Partnerships (European
Innovation Partnerships) on water, raw materials, building, smart
cities, Agriculture
• Resource efficiency platform (high level supervising board…)

Green Action Plan for SMEs
1. Increase competitiveness and sustainability-> European Resource
Efficiency Excellence Centre and eco-innovation observatory
2. Green entrepreneurship -> seed fundings for green start up,
Knowledge Innovation Center (KIC)
3. New business opportunities (circular economy): Re-manufacturing,
repair, maintenance, recycling, clean technologies…
4. Access to the markets -> SBA charter and EcoAp
5. Governance and participation: European Innovation Platform,
Eurobarometer on 'SMEs, resource efficiency and green markets’

7 actions under EcoAP
1. Environmental policies and regulation (Products using energy:
cooler, washing machines, fridges..)
2. Funding of demonstration projects (Horizon 2020)
3. Promotion of green standards: eco-labels, EMAS…
4. Scale up of private funding and actors: Network of funders and
actors…
5. International cooperation: partnerships with global actors (China,
India, Brazil)
6. Update on skills and knowledge (forums, workshops…)
7. European Innovation Partnerships (Raw material, water,
agriculture,…)

What is eco-innovation?
• New products / services ofering lower environmental impact and
higher social benefits
• Eliminate waste or close loops (reuse)
• Integrate the life cycle thinking about the global impact / benefits
• Low or high tech based (patents or traditional knowledge based)
• Linear or radical/disruptive innovation
• Promote change of business models: services instead of
ownership (chemical leasing), co-production (DIY), open
innovation (crowd sourcing), dematerialisation (on-line),
collaborative / sharing economy (Social car…)

What is eco-efficiency?
• Analyse the whole supply/value chain to improve material
productivity and reduce waste / pollution
• Focus on internal proceses (manufacturing…) within but also
outside the company (suppliers…)
• Integrate the whole life cycle of the products/services (production,
packaging, use…)
• Based on Environmental Management Systems (EMAS, ISO…)
• Include a cultural change in the company (awareness and
commitment of employees and owners)
• Promote dialogue with stakeholders (trade unions, NGOs, policy
makers,…)
