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.
The event will explore how innovative circular solutions contribute to growers' efficient operations, ensuring sustainable food production in Europe.
With a focus on sustainable practices and technological advancements, it will bring together food industry experts, researchers, policymakers and farmers to exchange knowledge, share best practices and foster collaboration within horticulture across all Member States.
