The Circular Aluminium Action Plan is the aluminium sector’s strategy for achieving aluminium’s full potential for a circular economy by 2030. The action plan aims to ensure that all end-of-life aluminium products are collected and recycled efficiently in Europe to maximise the aluminium recycling rates and to keep the material in active use. It builds on the aluminium industry’s Vision 2050 and provides policy recommendations for the sector.
The aluminium industry has the potential to be a key driver in achieving Europe’s ambitions for a climate-neutral and circular economy. Aluminium is by nature circular and fit for multiple recycling: it can be recycled over and over again without losing its original properties (lightness, conductivity, formability, durability, impermeability).
This two-day international event is organised by the WEEE Forum in cooperation with WEEE Ireland.
It will bring together policymakers, industry leaders, producer responsibility organisations (PROs), recyclers, manufacturers and circular economy experts to discuss the future of Extended Producer Responsibility and electronic waste management within Europe's evolving circular economy framework.
This leading event will bring together representatives of European and Spanish institutions, industry representatives, waste management operators and experts to analyse the strategic role of resource management in the transition towards a more competitive and sustainable circular economy.
Vorarlberg's annual Environmental Festival is designed to produce as little waste as possible, to promote reuse and generally to familiarise people with the concepts of the circular economy without preaching about it.
People come for the festival experience but leave having learned why it's a good thing to donate what you don't need and not to produce extravagant amounts of waste!
The European Commission has just adopted new rules on recycling of single-use plastic beverage bottles made primarily of polyethylene terephthalate (PET bottles).
The rules will ensure transparency in calculating recycled content in these bottles and enable Member States to meet recycled content targets.
This session will enable participants to engage in a discussion on curbing ultra-fast fashion, regulating textile waste and advancing circular solutions for the textile sector.
It is part of Generation Climate Europe’s ongoing Youth Report on Textile Waste and aims to ensure that youth perspectives inform EU-level policy discussions and recommendations.
Last week, the European Economic and Social Committee, one of the two EU bodies behind the ECESP, adopted an opinion on the future Circular Economy Act.
The ECESP contributed through targeted expertise and wider stakeholder engagement.
The circular economy will not be built on materials alone — it needs people, and the right skills, in the right places. Europe's green transition is creating jobs. But it is also creating gaps — in skills, in access and in who benefits.
Four speakers from research, industry, academia and policy will tackle the questions that matter — from what is actually working on the ground to whether Europe can get there by 2030, and get there fairly.
The Batteries Regulation will introduce new transparency and data requirements from raw materials to end of life.
This webinar will provide the latest updates, key obligations and industry perspectives with an eye to 18 February 2027 when the Regulation will come into effect.
