Panel on Circular Economy
At the request of the ECE Commission’s sixty-ninth session, WP.6 discussed the topic of circular economy at its annual session on 25 November afternoon and 26 November morning. On the 25th, there were a series of presentations related to the topics of WP.6 and how these relate to circular economy: market surveillance, conformity assessment, risk management, gender-responsive standards, metrology and education on standards. On 26 November, we had a guided debate on the topics to explore how this can be integrated into the regular work of WP.6 in the future.
All presentations are available under the "Presentations" tab above in Agenda Item 9.
