Set for adoption in 2026, the EU Circular Economy Act aims to establish a Single Market for secondary raw materials, accelerate circularity, and position Europe as the global leader on the circular economy by 2030. Building on recommendations from the Letta and Draghi reports, this legislation connects to the broader Competitiveness Compass and Clean Industrial Deal while aligning with recently adopted frameworks including the PPWR and Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation.
This session brings together regulatory experts and industry leaders for a two-way dialogue on how companies can proactively shape, and prepare for, this evolving framework without becoming overwhelmed by compliance demands.
- Framing the debate: Key points to note within the Act, from civil society perspectives to industry concerns
- Clarity and harmonisation: How will the Circular Economy Act integrate with the PPWR, Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes to create a coherent regulatory landscape?
- Preparing proactively: How businesses can engage meaningfully in the Act’s development now and position themselves ahead of its 2026 adoption
