SUMMARY:Circular economy in Visegrad Group (V4) countries  – current state and challenges
DESCRIPTION:A circular economy is an industrial system that replaces the ‘end-of-life’ concept with restoration\, shifts towards the use of renewable energy\, eliminates the use of toxic chemicals\, which impair reuse\, and aims for the elimination of waste through the superior design of materials\, products\, systems\, and\, within this\, business models. \nThe elements of circular economy include: \n\nwaste management\,\na strict differentiation between consumable and durable components of a product\, replacement the concept of a consumer with that of a user\,\nenergy efficiency.\n\nA circular economy requires improvements in material selection and product design (circular design)\, innovative business models\, increase in general awareness and creation the skill base. \nA transition towards circular economy will therefore generate new jobs\, increase productivity and will boost R&I activities. The latter may be treated as a circular economy enablers. \nThe 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. \nFor 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. \n     \nAGENDA\n\n\n9.30 – 10.00\nREGISTRATION\n\n10.00 – 10.30\nINTRODUCTION\n\nKarolina D’Cunha\, Deputy Head of Unit European Commission DG Environment\, Directorate B Circular Economy & Green Growth\nVasileios Rizos\, Research Fellow\, CEPS (Centre for European Policy Studies)\n\n\n10.30-11.15\nPART I – MAIN R&I ACTIVITIES RELATED TO CIRCULAR ECONOMY\nKarolina Zázvorková – moderator\, European Commission DG Environment\nDirectorate B3 – Waste Management & Secondary Materials \n\nBarna Kovács – advisor to BIOEAST\, Hungarian Ministry of Agriculture\, Hungary\nPavol Alexy\, Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava\, Slovakia\nVladimír Kočí\, University of Chemistry and Technology\, Prague\, Czech Republic\n\n\n11.15-11.30\nLET’S TALK ABOUT GARBAGE EXHIBITION\n\nMarcin Szczelina\, Architecture Snobs\, Poland\n\n\n11.30 – 12.00\nCOFFEE BREAK\n\n12.00-13.30\nPART II – GOOD PRACTICES\nMałgorzata Gołębiewska – moderator\, European Commission\nDG Environment\, Directorate B Circular Economy & Green Growth \n\nTomasz Wojciechowski\, Circular Economy Institute\, Poland\nKatarzyna Barc\, Oddam Odpady Initiative\, Poland\nMiroslav Galamboš\, Panaraplast\, Slovakia\nJiří Brejcha\, MITAS a. s.\, Czech Republic\n\n\n13.30 – 14.30\nLUNCH\n  \n  \nPRESENTATIONS: \nBarna Kovacs \nJiri Brejcha \nVasileios Rizos \nMarcin Szczelina \nVladimir Koci \nKatarzyna Barc \n  \n                                                    COORGANIZORS\n \n  \n  \n                        PARTNER \n \n
