The aim of the webinar is to discuss the significance of the circular economy for business practice in the D-A-CH countries – Germany, Austria and Switzerland. To this end, the results of representative surveys of companies on the significance and implementation of the circular economy in these three countries will first be presented and discussed in a comparative manner.
This will be followed by a virtual panel discussion exploring practical perspectives on the significance, challenges and implementation of the circular economy from a business perspective. The discussion will address potential similarities and differences within the D-A-CH region, as well as the question of whether cross-border or Europe-wide initiatives could support companies in this transformation.
