Of course, we were also part of the first Circular Summit in Slovakia 💚 More than two hundred participants evaluated the event extremely favourably, both in terms of the programme, invited panelists and speakers, but especially as a space for networking, exchanging experiences and mutual inspiration in the field of circular economy.
Guests included:
Mr Jan Jonker, Professor em. Sustainable Entrepreneurship, an expert on circular economy from the Netherlands
Mr Michal Wiezik, Member of the European Parliament, Ecologist, Scientist
Mr William Neale, Adviser on Circular Economy and Green Growth, European Commission (online)
Pieter Van Os - Programme Manager CIRCO International (Netherlands)
The main programme also included topics such as:
♻ Circular economy as a win-win-win situation for business, the environment and society
♻ Financing the transition to a circular economy
♻ Packaging, eco-design and eco-modulation
♻ Greenwashing and how companies deal with it
Together with Slovak Environment Agency we prepared one of the workshops, focused on Green (Public) Procurement, i.e. how to buy products and services for an organisation with the least negative impact on the environment. The environmental labelling of products (e.g. the best known is Ecolabel at European level and also national eco-labels) has been explained and advised to use as a tool for the GPP implementation.
We used the Municipal Materials Cycle project as one of the examples of good practice in this topic.
At the same time, an exhibition of products and services with a focus on the circular economy took place. We were delighted that our stand was always crowded. We participated with the Municipal Materials Cycle project. Together with the project partners, DAMITO and the products of the Econatural range of the manufacturer Lucart - paper hygiene products made from recycled pulp from beverage cartons and unique pallets and other products made from AlPe material.
Thanks for organzing Circular Slovakia and now, off to work, to use the great inspiration💚
