Circular Wallonia Days is a two-day international event which will connect up regional ecosystems from all over the EU, fostering dynamic industrial partnerships along the value chain of mineral materials.

It will be a unique opportunity to showcase projects and exchange good practices addressing one of Europe’s most pressing challenges: achieving strategic autonomy for construction materials. While rooted in the Greater Region (Wallonia, Brussels, French Lorraine, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and the German Länder Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland), the conference is designed to engage all European regions.

Key topics:

• Advancing legislation with circular techniques in the mineral construction sector
• Economic sustainability of the circular material model
• Contribution of circularity in minerals to sustainable construction: Inspiration from EU regions
• Eco-design of circular materials
• End-of-Waste and the right materials in the right place
• Extending the lifespan of construction materials
• Resistance to change in circular practices

Additional highlights:

• Innovation Talks: Presentation of Walloon and EU projects on mineral and material circularity for construction
• Site visits: Explore innovative projects in action
• B2B sessions: Connect with key stakeholders and partners

There is a wide range of presentations, project pitches, panel debates and workshops - see the programme!

This event is open to all stakeholders in the circular minerals value chain. It will take place in English on 21 and 22 May in Mons. This event will not be livestreamed: attendance will be in-person only. Registration.
