The Circular Economy Taskforce: Can its co creation model deliver new opportunities in the UK?

• With the Circular Economy Growth Plan set to reshape policy expectations, investment signals, and material stream priorities, the UK resources sector is entering a critical phase. Join us as we explore what the plan could mean for businesses, local authorities, and the wider circular economy and how a co creation model could help deliver faster, more practical progress.

   

  Our panel will reflect on the emerging themes from the Growth Plan, outline the Taskforce’s 2026 work programme, and discuss the systemic challenges that must be addressed to move the agenda forward.

   

  What you’ll learn:

  • The direction of travel signalled by the Circular Economy Growth Plan
  • How co creation between government, business, and NGOs can unlock progress
  • Priority material streams likely to shape policy and investment
  • Key challenges and opportunities for 2026
  • How organisations can engage with upcoming consultations and initiatives
