Join top-level speakers from both the industry and policy-making spheres, and connect with fellow industry leaders, market analysts and journalists.

EuRIC is putting a strong focus on networking opportunities. Be sure to arrive early to take full advantage of our networking sessions and get ready to celebrate with us.

Registrations, along with the draft agenda, will be shared soon! Spread the word with your network and join us this October as we shape the future of circularity in Europe and beyond.

Explore the critical role of recycled and other secondary raw materials in delivering on the EU’s Competitiveness Compass and Clean Industrial Deal objectives. The event will propose concrete incentives and solutions to accelerate the circular economy transition while boosting Europe’s industrial resilience and global competitiveness.

Key topics include:

  • Integrating circularity into EU trade, energy, and competitiveness policies
  • The potential of End-of-Waste criteria and the role of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes
  • Navigating the post-Waste Shipment Regulation landscape
  • Responding to supply chain volatility in a new era of global tariffs
  • Preserving international trade flows of recycled materials
  • The case for small-scale, strategic partnerships over trade barriers
