The EU Green Week Brussels conference, “Circular Solutions for a Competitive EU,” held from 3 to 5 June 2025 in Brussels, has now concluded.
This year’s Green Week unpacked the “three Cs” – Clean, Competitive & Circular – exploring how to place circularity at the centre of Europe’s economic transition. With its potential to drive sustainable competitiveness, reduce waste, increase strategic autonomy, and promote innovation, the circular economy was presented as a key solution to some of Europe’s most pressing challenges.
The event featured:
- Policy discussions (3–4 June): Expert speakers shared insights on how a circular use of resources can make the EU more competitive, resilient, and sustainable.
- Stakeholder event (5 June): Industry leaders, communities, and other stakeholders came together to exchange ideas and inspire action, in partnership with the European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform and the European Circular Cities and Regions Initiative.

Throughout June, Green Week partner events will take the conversation on circularity to local and regional levels, engaging businesses, individuals, and communities across Europe and beyond.

EU Green Week background
For 25 years, EU Green Week - organised by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Environment - has been Europe’s leading environmental conference and an annual opportunity to raise awareness, promote and discuss the latest and upcoming developments in European environmental policy. The high-level event attracts policymakers, businesses, leading environmentalists, and other interested parties from across Europe and the world.
The European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform is a joint initiative by the European Commission and the European Economic and Social Committee. It brings together stakeholders active in the broad field of Europe's circular economy.
