Business and practitioners’ workshop on financial opportunities and legislative barriers for the circular economy

Business and practitioners’ workshop on financial opportunities and legislative barriers for the circular economy

On 2 December 2015, the European Commission adopted an ambitious new Circular Economy Package to help European businesses and consumers make the transition to a stronger and more circular economy where resources are used in a more sustainable way.

The proposed actions will contribute to 'closing the loop' of product lifecycles through greater recycling and re-use, bringing benefits for both the environment and the economy.

This workshop is for business representatives who are engaged in, or will engage in, circular economy projects or business models.

The first part will offer the chance to get a better understanding of the available instruments and tools for access to finance.

In the second part, the main legal barriers for investment and innovation will be discussed.
