Towards the Circular Economy Act: Prospects for Europe and Italy
On September 14, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., the Sala della Protomoteca in the Campidoglio, Rome, will host the conference promoted by Kyoto Club dedicated to the future of the circular economy in Europe and Italy.
The meeting will focus on the new Circular Economy Act, with which the European Union aims to strengthen the circularity of the single market by encouraging greater use of secondary raw materials, improved resource management, and greater integration between environmental and industrial policies. Strategic objectives also include strengthening the recycling market, simplifying End-of-Waste criteria, and creating more favorable conditions for the demand for recycled materials.
For Italy, already characterized by significant experience in recycling and resource efficiency, the new European framework represents an opportunity to consolidate its position and transform the circular economy into a lever for competitiveness, innovation, and resilience of the production system.
The Kyoto Club conference will therefore be an important opportunity for institutions, businesses, and experts to discuss the prospects opened up by the new European measure and the actions needed to ensure that the transition to a more circular economic model produces concrete benefits for the Italian industrial system.
