Circular by nature: a policy agenda for bio-based materials in a circular economy

The event titled Circular by nature: a policy agenda for bio-based materials in a circular economy will take place online on July 15, 2026, from 13:00 to 14:00 CEST. Organized by the European Commission, this forum aims to address the transition towards a circular bioeconomy, which is crucial for achieving climate neutrality and resource resilience in Europe. The discussion will be anchored around a new report from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, which outlines essential principles for integrating circularity into bio-based materials. Participants will gain insights into overcoming challenges related to scaling implementation and connecting stakeholders across various sectors. The agenda includes presentations and a panel discussion featuring experts from the European Commission, the European Environment Agency, and the Biobased Industries Consortium, among others.
