The 2nd European Automotive Circular Economy Summit 2026 will bring together leading stakeholders from across the automotive value chain, including OEMs, suppliers, recyclers, and policymakers, to explore strategies for creating a circular ecosystem in automotive production. Key areas of focus will include advancing the recycling of critical materials such as steel and plastics, addressing challenges in the management of end-of-life vehicles (ELVs), and incorporating eco-design principles into vehicle manufacturing to enhance recyclability. The summit will highlight the ongoing progress in circular supply chains, the role of green steel, and the regulatory developments driving change. Participants will also explore digital solutions like product passports to enable better material tracking and support the transition to a more sustainable, circular economy in the automotive sector.
