Nine major industrial groups, supported by France's Directorate General for Enterprise (DGE), have issued a joint call to strengthen industrial sovereignty and competitiveness through a robust circular economy. Their conclusions are published in a new report titled "Facing Systemic Vulnerabilities: Building an Antifragile Industry Through a Strong Circular Economy," released by the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) and the circular economy network Circul'R.

The report is the result of work by the Circular Industry Coalition, which includes nine large industrial corporations. It argues that the circular economy is no longer just an environmental consideration but has become a strategic lever for enhancing industrial competitiveness, resilience, and sovereignty. The coalition's analysis positions circular practices—such as recycling, reuse, and resource efficiency—as critical tools for reducing systemic vulnerabilities and building a more "antifragile" industrial base capable of withstanding and benefiting from shocks and disruptions.

Le CEA et Circul’R publient le rapport “Face aux vulnérabilités systémiques, construire une industrie antifragile grâce à une économie circulaire forte”, avec le soutien de la Direction Générale des Entreprises (DGE). Issu du travail de neuf grands groupes industriels de la Coalition Industrie Circulaire, ce rapport démontre que l’économie circulaire s’impose désormais comme un levier stratégique de compétitivité, de résilience et de souveraineté industrielle.
