Across Europe, Reloop works at a national and pan-European level. We are actively engaged in the development of EU policy focused on resource management.
Since 2015, Reloop´s work in Brussels has evolved to include the delivery of conferences and events, webinars and key reports designed to inform specific policies.
Reloop´s success in Europe can be attributed in large part to its network – NGOs, industry and government – which works together across the common aim of reducing waste and pollution, accelerating the transition to a circular economy and maximising the potential to mitigate against climate change.
