The European internal market for recycled materials has huge potential. The EU’s objective is to make 24% of materials circular by 2030, thereby reducing the use of primary materials and greenhouse gas emissions by 25% overall. However, at this stage, progress is going slow. 🐢 To facilitate the dialogue between business and policy makers on this issue, we are organising a parliamentary breakfast hosted by Gerben-Jan Gerbrandy MEP on the “Circular Economy Act” (#CEA) currently prepared by the European Commission: What policy measures are required to boost the use of recycled content, #reuse and innovative #wastemanagement practices in a European circular economy? How will it ensure the free movement of waste for #recycling? Will there be legally binding targets for recycled content in new products? 🕗 When: Thursday, June 12th, 8:15 – 9:30 CEST 📍Where: Online and in-person 💬 Discussion partners: ♻️ Gerben-Jan Gerbrandy MEP ♻️ Anna CAVAZZINI MEP and Chair of the Internal Market Committee (IMCO) ♻️ Florian Flachenecker, PhD, CEA Taskforce Leader, European Commission (DG ENV) ♻️ Konstantin Litke, Policy Director, BNW ♻️ Arthur ten Wolde, Executive Director, Ecopreneur.eu (Moderator) ▶ Registrations: https://lnkd.in/emjEVdXi #CircularEconomy #CleanIndustrialDeal
