The circle is a symbol of unity, equality and continuity — and today it is also a powerful image for cooperation, connectedness and circularity. That is exactly what ROUND stands for: nine Belgian organisations for Extended Producer Responsibility that are joining forces to work towards more responsible, solidarity-based and circular waste management.
We would like to invite you to participate in the very first event organised by ROUND, the association of nine Belgian Extended Producer Responsibility organisations. A unique meeting between the most important players in the sector, where innovative initiatives, good practices and fruitful partnerships between the various organisations will be highlighted.
📅 Date: Thursday 16 October 2025
🕘 Time: 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
📍 Location: Sofitel Brussels Europe
Why participate?
Discover the leading projects of the EPR organisations in the fields of innovation, the environment, education and employment.
Meet representatives from public authorities, federations, NGOs and partners from the sector.
Be inspired by good practices and contribute to a collective dynamic in the service of a high-performance circular economy.
