The circular economy, a joint endeavour

Organised back-to-back with the EU Industry Day, this edition of the circular economy stakeholder conference will bring together industry representatives, public authorities, NGOs and citizens.

Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the experiences of key players in the transition to a circular, resource-efficient and low-carbon economy. In addition, they will have the opportunity to:

• discuss and share their views on work streams
• exchange good practices via knowledge sharing and dialogue
• debate key issues on their agenda
• network

The transition on the ground

Building on experiences shared by stakeholders through the European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform (#CEStakeholderEU), participants will discover new circular alternatives allowing them to become sustainability front-runners.

In the meantime, stakeholders are invited to share good practice through an online form and to send reports, studies and commitments, as well as strategies at national, regional and local level, to the email below.
