Dr. Eckart von Hirschhausen opens the panel with an input and a question: Why do we talk about gas, coal, batteries, mercury and electricity the way we do? He then steers the discussion into one of the most pressing questions of the transition: A truly circular economy needs energy systems that don’t just achieve climate neutrality \u2014 they need to have a positive impact. Drawing on the report Energy & Cradle to Cradle, the panel explores whether and how renewable energy and C2C design principles must be thought together: from circular infrastructure to systems that give more back to nature than they take and in doing so, unlock new business models.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Focusing solely on initial acquisition costs misses the financial potential of a full lifecycle approach. The case of the city of Ludwigsburg shows that C2C procurement delivers not only sustainability successes, but also long-term financial savings while serving as a driver for economic development that incentivizes companies to undergo future-proof transformations. Panelists from federal, local, and business sectors discuss key levers for broadly embedding C2C criteria, while questioning whether dogmatic approaches like “Buy European” are sufficient to strengthen the public sector’s circular evolution.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Seven years after its inception, the C2C LAB has reinvented itself: In a second development phase, the pioneering space was put to the test and updated with the latest C2C innovations. In this panel, the team reflects on key takeaways, what proved easier this time around, which new challenges emerged, and their vision for the LAB\u2019s future as a vibrant community hub.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The bioeconomy encompasses far more than mere waste stream utilization, and the circular economy must be far more than just an industrial strategy. Against the backdrop of emerging EU initiatives like the Circular Economy Act, this panel examines the status quo of a truly circular bioeconomy. The discussion illustrates how we should integrate the agricultural sector from the ground up as an essential component of C2C concepts to create fully closed nutrient loops.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
