Expert Talks 2024
Circular Economy
24 September 2024 | 9:00 am to 1:30 pm | Hybrid: Austrian Standards (Heinestrasse 38, 1020 Vienna) or live stream
A functioning circular economy is not only key for achieving climate and environmental protection goals but it also opens up new economic prospects thanks to innovative solutions and business models.
Standards play a key role in working towards an efficient circular economy and support the transformation. They may offer a methodological basis for achieving the regulatory aims while promoting innovation and bolstering trust. It is important that standards take greater account of the dynamic principles of the circular economy and aspects such as reuse, repair and recycling.
The entire value chain of products and services has to be rethought and this ultimately gives rise to new beginnings.
The Expert Talks on 24 September 2024 are intended as a meeting place for the community and offer interested decision-makers from the worlds business, politics, science and design the opportunity to share ideas. Make the most of the wide range of keynotes, in-depth insights and round tables. The hybrid specialist conference is being hosted by Austrian Standards together with Circular Economy Forum Austria.
The motto is: how the circular economy runs smoothly thanks to standards.
Participation is free of charge – reserve your space now.
