Towards the Circular Economy Act - Kyoto Club

Circular Economy Act: A debate on the future European law will take place in Rome on September 14th.

24 July 2026

On September 14, 2026, the conference “Towards the Circular Economy Act: What Prospects for Europe and Italy” will be held in the Sala della Protomoteca in the Campidoglio, Rome, promoted by the Kyoto Club.

The meeting will focus on the future European Union framework law on the circular economy, expected in autumn 2026. This new measure could introduce significant regulatory and structural changes for businesses, impacting industrial policies, resource management, and the organization of production processes.

The consequences for the Italian production system

The Circular Economy Act aims to promote a more efficient use of raw materials, incentivize the recovery and recycling of materials, and reduce Europe’s dependence on resources from third countries.

Italian businesses are therefore facing a phase of profound transformation. Adapting to the new provisions may require investments, changes to production processes, and new obligations, but it could also represent a significant opportunity to innovate, reduce waste, and improve competitiveness.

The Roman conference will be an opportunity to analyze the critical issues and prospects of the new legislation, involving representatives of institutions, the economic world, businesses, and research.

The meeting program

The day will begin at 10:00 with a welcome for participants and will continue with institutional greetings and introductory speeches.

Contributions are expected from representatives of the Kyoto Club, Roma Capitale, Lazio Innova, the Symbola Foundation, and various organizations and companies working in the fields of environment, energy, materials recovery, and sustainability.

In the afternoon, a session dedicated to priorities for the circular economy will be held, with the participation of representatives from the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security, ISPRA, Legambiente, ENEA, and Confindustria. The meeting will conclude at 3:30 PM.

Towards a more circular and resilient economy

The introduction of the Circular Economy Act could represent a decisive step in the European strategy for the ecological transition.

The meeting on September 14th will allow for a deeper understanding of the potential implications of the new law and to identify the tools needed to guide businesses toward more efficient, sustainable, and resilient production models.

The event will take place on Monday, September 14, 2026, from 10:00 am to 3:30 pm, at the Sala della Protomoteca, Piazza del Campidoglio 1, Rome. (source Kyoto Club)
