What Makes a Circular Material Ecosystem Work?
- How are the PPWR and evolving EPR frameworks shaping the transition toward circular materials, and what safeguards are needed to balance environmental ambition with business realities?
- What defines a material, product, or technology as truly “system-ready” — one that meets PPWR recyclability and reuse standards, integrates into circular supply chains, and supports long-term competitiveness?
- Circularity depends on systems, not just materials. Which policy, investment, and industry mechanisms are needed to align innovation, infrastructure, and economics — including organic recycling for food-service packaging that is often contaminated and hard to recycle mechanically?
- How can AI, data transparency, and digital traceability tools — such as those envisioned under PPWR labelling and reporting requirements — help businesses optimize supply chains, extend product value, and deliver EPR compliance at scale?
