On 10 June 2021 at 11:00 CEST, the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) is hosting an event on "Traceability across circular value chains: How to unlock its potential and mitigate challenges?".
Lack of visibility regarding flows of materials and their sustainability impact can limit opportunities for a circular economy. The objective of this event is to discuss available traceability solutions that can be used by companies and customers to have a better picture of products and materials. The discussion will focus on the existing challenges and the policies that are needed to further boost such solutions for circular economy business models.
