In this meeting, representatives from the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency and the National Agency for Public Procurement will talk about how they incorporate circularity and the life cycle perspective into their work and how these concepts are represented and used in policy and regulation. The presentations will focus on how the agencies work with circularity and life cycle thinking in their own organisations, their missions, and in relation to policy. The meeting will also cover circularity and the life cycle perspective from an EU policy perspective.

This meeting is a collaboration between the Circularity and life cycle assessment working group and the Government agency group.

If you are interested in learning more about how circularity and life cycle perspectives are addressed within governmental work and policy, you are welcome to join the meeting.
