Scope

Moving towards a circular economy and climate neutrality is a must. However, delivering on these objectives requires more than ambitious targets: it takes effective measures to transition towards greener, more resilient industry. Recycling plays a key role by closing the loop and thus saving both valuable resources and a substantial amount of greenhouse gas emissions.

Join Recyclers Talks #1 on 22 March (4 p.m. CET) to discuss what needs to be done to deliver on Europe’s Green Agenda.
