Ecologic Institute gemeinnützige GmbH (Ecologic Institute) is an independent, non-profit research organization and policy think tank focused on environmental sustainability. Based in Germany, it conducts applied research and provides evidence-based analysis to public authorities, EU institutions, and stakeholders across Europe and internationally.
The institute’s work spans climate and energy policy, circular economy and resource management, water and marine governance, biodiversity, and environmental law and economics. It delivers studies, policy evaluations, and advisory services, and facilitates expert dialogues to support science-based decision-making. Its analyses often address regulatory and market frameworks relevant to the chemicals and materials value chains—such as climate targets, carbon removal and markets, product policy, waste and recycling, and sustainability reporting—helping stakeholders assess policy impacts and transition pathways.
