Dutch Circular Economy Week

Netherlands | 3rd until 7th of February 2020

From Monday 3 February to Friday 7 February 2020, the Netherlands is completely devoted to the circular economy.
Circular front runners organize all kinds of events to include other professionals in the circular economy. Theme of this anniversary edition is TOUR CIRCULAR! Throughout the country, good examples are given a stage, front runners meet and starters are provided with concrete tools to get started themselves.There are more than 130 events throughout the week, most of them in Dutch.

The HCH event on February 6 will be in Dutch, but we have found some interesting events that will be in English and that are fit for an international audience. We have listed them below (scroll down), and will add updates if we find new events. Your English spoken event not listed? Please send an email to diana.degraaf@hollandcircularhotspot.nl.
