‘Towards Net-Zero through a Circular Economy: the consumer and business perspectives’ Stakeholder Workshop

This workshop will address research insights from both a consumer and business perspective. We will explore what circularity means for mobility, living practices, household appliances, waste management, and business behaviors. Stakeholders from across industry, local government, and civil society will inform the research scope and contribute to the development of a toolkit for businesses to support further uptake of circular practices. 

Going forward, the stakeholder community will be further developed as a forum to present, discuss, and strengthen project outputs in an endeavor to co-create a shared vision for a European net-zero Circular Economy.
