Watt Matters: The FORESIGHT energy transition podcast7 Jun 2024

Material changes

As Europe progresses towards achieving a climate-neutral economy by 2050, the concept of circularity has emerged as a powerful approach to reducing emissions, minimising waste and promoting sustainability.

Adopting a more circular economy entails Europe transitioning from its linear economic model of producing, consuming, and disposing of materials to new approaches that aim to keep materials in the value chain for as long as possible. This will involve reducing resource extraction and ensuring that we operate within our planetary limits.

In the first of two special live podcasts—recorded at our event on circularity in Brussels at the end of May 2024—the panel discusses the impact of new regulations out of the European Union aimed at improving circularity and its impact on design and supply chains.

Joining David Weston on today’s episode are:

Emmanuelle Maire, Head of Unit at DG Environment at the European Commission

Ke Wang, Global Lead for Energy Minerals and Circularity at the World Resources Institute

Erich Labuda, President ABB Motion

Our thanks go to lead co-organiser ABB and our supporting organiser VELUX for making the event possible.
