Circular Economy Village
Reuse, Remanufacturing & Recycling
For its second edition, the Circular Economy Village moved up a gear.
The impact of the new Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) on End-of-Life Vehicles (ELV) led to an increasingly structured and specialised market.
The village encompassed all the stakeholders in the Circular Economy ecosystem, ranging from authorised treatment facilities to shredders, and including dealers, collectors, marketplaces, and circular economy parts and remanufacturing businesses.
The impact of electric vehicles on the recycling sector brought about a need for new skills and new players.
