Towards A Single Market For Circularity: What The Circular Economy Act Is Likely To Deliver.
Have you ever thought of the lifecycle of your office chair? Funnily enough, it’s rather straight forward - once the raw materials are extracted and the chair is manufactured and distributed, it will be used for 5-10 years (if you are lucky), and then into the trash it goes. That’s just a small example of the traditional “take-make-waste” model which has been deemed as unsustainable and the transition to a circular economy has become increasingly urgent for Europe - a system designed to eliminate waste and keep resources in use for as long as possible.

Changes To Natural Resources Tax For Solar And BESS Projects In Latvia: Planned Reduction Of The BESS Rate And Extension Of The Exemption
Latvia is set to significantly reform its natural resources tax framework for renewable energy projects, introducing a substantial reduction in the BESS tax rate from EUR 17.03/kg to EUR 2.00/kg and expanding exemption eligibility beyond solar installations. The amendments will eliminate the current 1 MW minimum capacity threshold and remove supplier guarantee exemptions, while establishing new procedures for waste management compliance across all battery storage systems.
