On 13 November 2025, the ToCoReRaM project — led by universities in Germany, Ireland, and Austria — hosted an international workshop at the Representation of the State of Lower Saxony in Brussels.
The project aims to develop practical tools that support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in implementing circular material strategies in line with the EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR).
The workshop brought together representatives from industry, the European Commission, and academia. Initial research findings were presented, followed by interactive round-table discussions where participants shared perspectives on implications for business, policy, and future research.
The insights generated during the event provide valuable input for the development of the ToCoReRaM tool and highlight the importance of international collaboration in advancing sustainable product design and circularity across Europe.
