This workshop aims to connect the worlds of recycling and renewable energy, fostering synergies between materials circularity and technologies such as photovoltaic panels, wind turbine blades and batteries. Come and explore how recycled plastics and rubber can drive the clean energy transition!
In addition to fruitful discussions, this event will feature a series of interactive workshops fostering dialogue between policymakers, researchers and industry representatives. The three workshops will explore key governance challenges surrounding DPP data management, data models, interoperability and policy compliance, along with DPP policies that affect the economics of green solutions.
The workshop will bring together EU policymakers, researchers and construction stakeholders to explore how innovative materials, digital technologies and reuse strategies can together advance circularity in Europe’s built environment.

This event will inform policy discussions taking place within several key European Parliament committees and shine a light on the multiple benefits of the bioeconomy for sustainability. It will look at the role and potential of the forest-based bioeconomy which offers renewable and circular solutions for packaging, hygiene, construction, energy and more.
The EU SMILE CITY project has come up with Pilot, an off-grid PV panels e-bike charging station made using as many recycled materials as possible. Hear experts from various fields and countries describe the project, the materials and components developed, their performance and their use.
This #EURegionsWeek 2025 side event will showcase how Europe’s circular value chains can become more inclusive, resilient and sustainable, with a focus on microelectronics, resource recovery and circular economy infrastructure.
It will present the CLOSER and EVEN-CLOSER projects which tackle the recovery of secondary raw materials from e-waste for reuse in the manufacture of chips and microlectronics.
This workshop will bring together six EU-funded projects representing an ecosystem of 80 organisations driving innovation towards catalyst circularity and greener production in the EU.
This workshop will explore how sustainable urban development can unite environmental responsibility, economic resilience and social well-being, transforming cities into ecosystems that regenerate rather than deplete.
eBay's second Circular Economy Roundtable will bring together policymakers, industry leaders and civil society to discuss the crucial role of the global second-hand trade in achieving the EU's green and digital transition.
Key topics will include aligning EU legislation with circular economy goals, reducing barriers to second-hand trade and building consumer trust. The roundtable will feature the launch of a new study on second-hand trade commissioned by eBay.
PACCT for Sustainability is organising a two-day, in-person bootcamp designed to help professionals develop their profitable and sustainable Product-as-a-Service offers. Participants will gain insights, learn about tools and develop an action plan to start their circular business model journey.
