The European Policy Centre is pleased to invite you to an in-person Policy Briefing to discuss the European Commission’s proposal for the Circular Economy Act.

Transitioning from a linear take-make-dispose model to a circular economy, which retains the value of products, components and materials for as long as possible, is central to European sustainability, competitiveness and resilience. However, the progress towards achieving the circular economy and delivering on effective policy enablers remains limited. The upcoming EU Circular Economy Act aims to address this gap by strengthening the Single Market for secondary raw materials, in particular. At the same time, important questions remain regarding implementation, effects on European industry, and whether the Circular Economy Act can bring the scale of transformation required to successfully advance the European clean transition, competitiveness, and economic security.

The event will open with a keynote speech by Jessika Roswall, European Commissioner for Environment, Water Resilience and a Competitive Circular Economy, who will present the key features of the Circular Economy Act. The keynote will be followed by a fireside chat and a Q&A session with the audience.

This event welcomes the participation of EPC member organisations, EU institutions and media.
