Towards the Circular Economy Act – Workshop 3
The transition to more circular business models and solutions is essential from an environmental, competitiveness and a resilience perspective. The European Commission has announced a Circular Economy Act in 2026 to support the transition. At the same time, many legislative steps have already been taken at EU level. What gap should the Circular Economy Act fill? What is the best way to design it?
BusinessEurope is organising a series of 3 interactive workshops to discuss, with experts, the upcoming Circular Economy Act and its strategic implications for business.
Workshop 3 - What’s needed? Solutions for the CEA
16 December 2025, 8.30-10.00 CET
What should be the key priorities of the future EU Circular Economy Act? How can the CEA be designed to ensure it is effective while keeping administrative burdens to a minimum? What elements are needed in the EU circular economy policy framework to support businesses in scaling up circularity? And how can overlaps with existing EU legislation be avoided to ensure coherence and predictability? Those are some of the questions which will frame the discussion of our third workshop, with:
- Stefano Soro, Head of Unit I.4 on Sustainable Products, DG GROW, European Commission
- Justyna Balbier, Senior EU Affairs Manager and Head of EU office, Hydro
- Stefan Sipka, Senior Policy Analyst, European Policy Centre
Moderated by: Louise Bünemann, Head of EU Environmental Policy, Confederation of Danish Industry
Coffee and breakfast available from 8.30
