This exclusive briefing and networking event will provide an overview of the current situation and challenges related to war debris and hazardous waste management in Ukraine and highlight investment and business opportunities for companies and stakeholders interested in contributing to Ukraine’s circular recovery and reconstruction.

This workshop will look at how laboratory-trained bacteria can help restore polluted soils and waters, and how policy and regulatory frameworks can support circular outcomes while safeguarding public health and the environment.

This interactive workshop will explore where investment, leadership and effort can deliver the greatest circular economy impact in 2026.

With four panellists including Ladeja Godina Košir, chair of the ECESP, it will look at the circular economy in real-world conditions, circular education programmes and how EU-Australia cooperation can drive on the circular economy.

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. 

It aims to mirror the circular lifecycle of materials, from innovation and data acquisition to reuse and regeneration, and show how circular economy principles can be embedded into the construction sector.

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.
