Circular Society Co-Creation Event 2026​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The shift from a linear to a circular society is not a choice, it’s a necessity. Our current patterns of production and consumption drive resource depletion, climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss, while also deepening social inequality and geopolitical dependence.

We need bold, collaborative action to turn things around.

Let's Co-Create!

Why co-creation? Because circularity won't happen in silos

Progress is challenged by the complexity of the transition itself: moving from a linear (take–make–waste) system to a circular society requires fundamental system change. This transformation involves rethinking how we produce, use, and reuse resources, and cannot be achieved by single actors alone.

Connecting what belongs together

That is what this day is for. The Circular Society Co-Creation Event brings together researchers, professionals and societal partners from across the EWUU alliance and beyond to do what papers and policy briefs alone cannot: connect perspectives, expose shared patterns and develop new lines of inquiry, together, across domains.

Choose Your Co-Creation Track

The Circular Society Co-Creation Event 2026 brings together researchers, professionals, and societal partners to explore new perspectives on circularity and system transformation. During the Circular Co-Creation Event 2026, all participants join one track of their choice. You will stay with this track throughout the day, allowing you to dive deeper, build shared understanding, and connect with others who share your interest.
