Representatives of the Association EPEKA, a social enterprise, will attend the EU Green Week 2025 conference – Circular Solutions for a Competitive EU.

EU Green Week background

For 25 years, EU Green Week – organised by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Environment – has been Europe’s leading environmental conference and an annual opportunity to raise awareness, promote and discuss the latest and upcoming developments in European environmental policy. The high-level event attracts policymakers, businesses, leading environmentalists, and other interested parties from across Europe and the world.

The European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform is a joint initiative by the European Commission and the European Economic and Social Committee. It brings together stakeholders active in the broad field of Europe’s circular economy.

The Circular Cities and Regions Initiative (CCRI) focuses on implementing the circular economy across Europe’s cities and regions. The EU launched and funded it as part of the Circular Economy Action Plan.

This year’s Green Week will unpack the “three Cs” – Clean, Competitive & Circular – exploring how to put circularity at the centre of our economic transition. With its potential to drive sustainable competitiveness, reduce waste, increase strategic autonomy and promote innovation, a circular economy offers solutions to some of Europe’s most pressing challenges.

The event will delve into:

  • Policy discussions (3-4 June): Hear from expert speakers on how a circular use of resources can make the EU more competitive, resilient, and sustainable.
  • Stakeholder event (5 June): Meet with industry leaders, communities and other stakeholders to share ideas and inspire action, in partnership with the European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform and the European Circular Cities and Regions Initiative.
