The latter may be treated as a circular economy enablers.<\/p>\n<p>The European Commission adopted an ambitious Circular Economy Package that establishes a concrete and ambitious programme of action, with measures covering the whole cycle: from production and consumption to waste management and the market for secondary raw materials.<\/p>\n<p>For all V4 countries implementation of a circular economy is a chance for a faster economic growth respecting sustainability principle and taking into account social needs. The aim of the event is to share experience of V4 countries in implementation of circular economy, presentation of the best practices in this field including social innovation and discussion of main challenges.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1689\" src=\"http:\/\/polsca.pan.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC00247-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\"
