Abstract
Florian FLACHENECKER (Policy Officer in EC DG Environment, European Commission) – “The Circular Economy in the EU”
The transition towards a circular economy in the EU has made significant progress over the past years by delivering numerous legislative and non-legislative initiatives. These initiatives will unfold their potential once fully implemented on the ground. Pursuing the circular economy agenda will remain a key policy priority for the European Commission during the next mandate. The presentation will also discuss the role of selected waste management operations, including recycling and energy recovery, in the transition towards a circular economy.
