On September 30, MEPs Sirpa Pietikäinen, Pascal Canfin, and Bruno Tobback hosted a conference focused on the role of circularity in preserving the EU’s critical raw materials. This event was co-organized with The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, with a keynote address delivered by CEO Jonquil Hackenberg. The conference featured two panel discussions with contributions from representatives of Bee Group members Eastman and Tarkett, as well as partners like GLOBE EU, WRI, and EMF. Additional insights were provided by The Club of Rome, DG-GROW, Eurometaux, and Umicore, all exploring the intersections of the Green Deal and material security within the EU.
