Event details
With the help of concrete cases, studies and testimonials, visitors will get an overview of the opportunities offered by the circular economy.
After a high-level plenary session, participants can choose from 8 interactive workshops (2x4 in parallel) or go on a site visit to Brussels, Wallonia or Flanders.
The themes already on the agenda are:
Bioeconomy, Circular Construction and the Circular City, Chemistry and Plastics, Manufacturing with a focus on Repair Platforms and Batteries, Circular Procurement, Repair and Life Extension, Chemistry and Plastics, Monitoring and Indicators with a focus on Digitisation, Systems Innovation and Platform Operating in Europe.
Thanks to this varied approach, the circular economy event organised during the Belgian Presidency promises to make a valuable contribution to the global discourse on the circular economy and to the further development of sustainable solutions.
