Competitiveness & circularity: a win-win for Europe’s chemical industry?

Join us on 17 June 2025 at 13:30 in Brussels for an insightful afternoon focused on the future of the circular economy. Industry leaders, policymakers, civil society, and experts will explore the challenges, opportunities, and innovative solutions to accelerate the chemical industry’s transition to circularity, as well as its potential to drive circularity across other value chains.

The event will showcase key findings from the Cefic-Unity circularity study, exploring the progress made in the chemical industry, the challenges that remain, and strategies for scaling and commercialising circular solutions.

The study offers practical recommendations to accelerate the transition to a circular economy, outlining key enablers of circularity, from industrial symbiosis to innovation, circular feedstocks, and identifying success factors that can accelerate the transition.

Don’t miss the opportunity to engage with experts and shape the future of circularity in the industry.

Event goals:

• Present key findings from the Cefic-Unity study on how to fast-track the transition to a circular economy in the chemical industry.
• Inform through real-world case studies about the innovations, challenges, and opportunities in scaling circular economy practices within the industry.
• Foster discussions between policymakers, industry leaders, academia, and civil society to explore how the shift to a circular economy can drive competitiveness and innovation in the chemical industry and beyond.

What to expect:

This event will feature a dynamic blend of presentations, a panel discussion, and a networking session. Participants will have the opportunity to exchange ideas on overcoming challenges in the transition towards a circular economy. Industry leaders, policymakers, civil society, and experts will share insights on scaling circular solutions while driving innovation and competitiveness.
