3E Research Centre hosts an expert workshop on Circularity in EcoDesign

As a part of the research project KITUPO, the BSoG organised on 16 March with its partners (the University of Eastern Finland and the Finnish Environment Institute) an international expert workshop on how the notion of sustainable circularity is integrated into the governance of product designs. “Of particular interest were the ongoing developments relating to the EU’s Eco-Design Directive and the Sustainable Product Initiative in the context of the Commission’s Circular Economy Action Plan”, noted Prof Harri Kalimo that chaired the session. The workshop is the fifth in a series, which explores with leading experts various key aspects of circular product policies.
