Description

Panel discusion on sustainable and circular manufacturing: Manufacturing and industry are at the heart of the global economy, shaping everyday life while consuming amounts of energy and raw materials. As the drive for net zero, circularity, and resource efficiency accelerates, manufacturing must rethink its production models to cut emissions, minimise waste, and optimise resource use. This session will explore how Europe can implement a strategy integrating clean energy transitions, circular economy principles, and sustainable production. What key policies, innovative technologies, and business models are shaping the transformation towards a climate-resilient and competitive manufacturing sector?
