The Nordic Circular Summit is the largest annual conference on the circular economy in the Nordics, a gathering point for changemakers, policymakers, researchers and businesses driving the transition to a regenerative circular economy.
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.

This CEPS In-Depth Analysis examines the role, state of play and future prospects of standardisation of critical raw materials (CRM) from an EU perspective.
It begins with an overview of the key benefits and actors in both the EU and global technical standardisation system.
It then maps key recent developments and initiatives in CRM standardisation, in the EU and globally. Drawing on consultations with experts, it identifies three fundamental risks and challenges: the limited participation of EU stakeholders and experts, specific content gaps in recycling and traceability, and a highly fragmented ESG standardisation landscape.
Lastly, it provides policy recommendations to help address these challenges and enhance the EU’s role in CRM standardisation.
