Conferences and lectures
Thursday, 18 June 2026
From 09.30 h to 11.00 h
Did you know that the circular economy and regulatory compliance are becoming key factors in business competitiveness? More and more, new European regulations are driving a shift in production models focused on preserving the value of resources, reducing waste, and promoting more efficient and sustainable systems.
In this context, you may be wondering how these legislative changes could affect your business, particularly in sectors such as agri-food and packaging, and where to begin in order to adapt in a realistic and strategic way. If so, this Green Talk is for you.
By joining this online session, you will be able to:
- Understand the fundamentals of the circular economy and how it is reshaping today’s business models.
- Explore the main legislative developments expected in 2026, including the EU Circular Economy Act, delegated acts under the Ecodesign Regulation, and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR).
- Discover real-life examples of companies already preparing for upcoming regulations.
- Analyse how these regulations specifically apply to sectors such as agri-food and packaging.
- Identify business opportunities linked to circular models, beyond simple regulatory compliance..
- Learn where to start when adapting your business to these new requirements in a gradual and efficient way.
- Turn legal obligations into a driver for innovation, resource optimisation, and stronger business sustainability.
Stop seeing the circular economy purely as a regulatory obligation and start viewing it as an opportunity to transform your business, create value, and move towards a more sustainable and competitive model.
Learn about the latest circular economy legislation for 2026 and the key upcoming developments expected to impact businesses.
