Boosting recycling through future-fit policies
The EU increasingly faces immense societal, environmental and climate challenges. These challenges cannot be met alone. The European recycling industries are uniquely placed to bridge circularity and climate-neutrality. Yet, the sector is increasingly challenged by regulations and policies that hinder its ability to tackle these societal challenges in partnership with the EU.
Join us for our high-level conference that will unite European policymakers and recycling experts from across the circular economy value chain. Together, we will discuss how Europe can go beyond circular through future-fit policies that not only accelerate the transition towards a climate-neutral economy, but stimulate sustainable growth, investment and local green jobs in Europe.
