The circular economy: Going digital

The EPC Task Force on the Digital Roadmap for Circular Economy explored the linkages between digitalisation and the circular economy, the opportunities created by data and digitally-enabled solutions, and the challenges associated with harnessing their full potential for the transition to a circular economy. The project consisted of 10 multi-stakeholder workshops held between 2017 and 2019, and brought together representatives of the public and private sectors, academics and civil society actors, and experts on digital and environmental issues to have an open exchange on these relationships. This Task Force has been a pioneering endeavour in exploring the interconnections between these two global transformations and considering the implications for EU policymaking.
