Join us for this dedicated session about European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform (ECESP) to hear about its genesis, discover the challenges it overcame and how the initiative successfully offers a wealth of best practices for policymakers, businesses, academia and civil society, and translate dialogue into cooperation. 

The platform and Commission's representatives will discuss the main messages of the stakeholder dialogue's report. The event was organised in April, and the circular economy community shared the main points they wish to see integrated into the upcoming Circular Economy Act and the Bioeconomy Strategy.

Panellists:

• Cillian Lohan, EESC member and one of founders of the Platform

• Emmanuelle Maire, Head of Circular Economy, Sustainable Production & Consumption Unit, DG Environment, European Commission

• Freek van Eijk, CEO Holland Circular Hotspot and ECESP co-chair
