Hi there, dear Reader!

Autumn is in full swing, and October is packed with events you won’t want to miss! 


From discussions on improving the EPR system and cutting methane across waste, energy, and agriculture, to the Zero Waste conference in Tallinn exploring systemic change, there’s something for everyone.

   

Highlight of the month

   

Join the conversation: rethinking EPR for tomorrow’s Circular Economy

In July, European cities and businesses launched a manifesto calling for stronger Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in the upcoming EU Circular Economy Act, already backed by nearly 40 endorsers

On 7 October, join us to explore how EPR can go beyond recycling to support prevention, reuse, and repair, building on the new PPWR and upcoming Circular Economy Act. 

You’ll hear from frontrunner cities Tallinn and Brussels, New ERA (New European Reuse Alliance), Collectief Circulair Textiel (textiles PRO), and experts sharing practical examples and policy insights on scaling reuse, repair, and producer responsibility.

📅 Tuesday, 7 October, 10:30 - 12:00 (CET)
