Description
FNADE, the French Federation for Waste Management and Environmental Services, is organising this strategic event to review the key challenges facing the circular economy industry in the short and medium term. In recent years, significant efforts have been made to promote recycling, but much remains to be done. In particular, robust market conditions for secondary raw materials across Europe remain essential. Today, this market is still struggling to establish itself sustainably, and recycling facilities are not operating at full capacity, despite substantial investments and the entry into force of recycled content targets in some products.
In this context, FNADE aims to identify and share the urgent priorities that must be addressed by institutional stakeholders to ensure that Europe builds a solid foundation for the consolidation of a European Circular Economy with the upcoming Circular Economy Act. The objective is clear: to provide waste management operators with the adequate conditions to meet Europe's ambition of becoming the global leader in the circular economy by 2030. Reaching this goal will require adopting a systemic approach, one that ensures the loop is closed, that viable circular market conditions for recycled products are
guaranteed, that the competitiveness of European plastic recyclers is strengthened, and that both the reuse and recovery of materials are actively promoted.
The challenges facing the waste management industry are numerous, and the solutions require not only a long-term vision, particularly through the Circular Economy Act, but also immediate and concrete actions to address today’s pressing issues.
Together with its member companies, who are key players on the ground and cornerstones of the circular economy, FNADE is committed to highlighting and sharing the day-to-day challenges faced by our industry. This event will also provide a valuable opportunity for you to make your voice heard, to engage with sector experts, and to question institutional representatives on the policy levers needed for Europe to strengthen its position as a global leader in the circular economy.
