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 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.
SUINK (SUstainable self-charging power systems developed by INKjet printing) is a Horizon Europe research and innovation project aiming to design and implement sustainable, flexible and printable self-charging power systems to supply power to a wide range of sensors for the automotive industry. See how it's doing this and incorporating circular principles!

This webinar will set out the key results achieved in the development of bio-based conductive, dielectric and piezoelectric inks.
The ECCA has been set up by the European Composites Industry Association (EuCIA) which represents European national composites associations and industry-specific sector groups at EU level.
It was launched in 2025 to establish a circular economy for composites in Europe. It provides a platform for knowledge sharing and cooperation, driving collective action to establish truly circular, sustainable value chains for composite materials. It will set and achieve targets on the use of recovered and recycled composites, develop standards for circular product design and provide a forum for the industry.
Stakeholders across the composites value chain can join the ECCA by signing the declaration. They can then join one of the five working groups, from aerospace to construction to policy/regulation.
The European Week of Regions and Cities (#EURegionsWeek) is a communication and networking platform fostering cooperation, exchanging knowledge and addressing regional and urban challenges. The motto for this year is Shaping tomorrow, together and some of the sessions and stands are geared to the circular economy.

Regional Innovation Valleys for Circular Economy will have a stand: come and learn about how the project aims to enhance the policy-making process and build capacities, competence and expertise for professionals related to the circular economy!
This conference will look at how to use data to drive the circular economy. More specifically, it will explore how to acquire data and how to analyse it once you've got it, with input from France and Québec.
Characterisation techniques are essential in the plastics sector, as they ensure quality, reliability and safety, promote sustainability and minimise manufacturing risks. AIMPLAS will therefore host the second international seminar on plastics characterisation (CHARPLAST), bringing together international experts to address the main challenges and advances in this field.
Germany's National Circular Economy Strategy adopts a strategic vision focused on reducing the consumption of primary raw materials. This approach is guided by the proposal from the International Resource Panel, under the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), which sets a global target of 6-8 tonnes of raw material consumption per capita per year by 2050.
The strategy considers every stage of the cycle: product design, material selection, production, maximising the use phase and, finally, reuse and recycling. It aims to prevent waste from being created in the first place. This can be achieved through smart product design, efficient manufacturing, extended product lifespans, easier repairability and maximising the recycling of all materials.
