On 20 February 2020, Eurochambres will present their newest publication on Chamber Projects in the area of Circular Economy and will discuss the upcoming Circular Economy Action Plan with representatives of the European Parliament and Commission as well as with civil society.

Policy makers have to ensure that businesses, above all SMEs, can reap the potential benefits of the Circular Economy.

The Chambers of Commerce are active in two ways: advocacy & project work. In light of the upcoming publication of the new Circular Economy Action Plan, as announced in the Green Deal, during this event both elements will be discussed by business, policy makers & civil society.
