Circular Economy Platform

The shift to a circular economy represents a great business opportunity. The core of the concept is not yet deeply recognized by most companies, although the use of this model can increase the resilience of the world economy and facilitate the achievement of the Paris Climate Change Agreement and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

The Circular Economy Platform was officially established in Hungary in 2018 as an initiative of the Business Council for Sustainable Development in Hungary (BCSDH), the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and the Ministry of Innovation and Technology. So far, 101 companies and organizations have joined the Platform, the purpose of which is to accelerate the transition to a circular economic model by sharing knowledge, creating joint projects and collaborations.

For the new model to develop and spread, collaboration and knowledge sharing are required, with the involvement of businesses, government and science. BCSDH and its partners play a prominent role in facilitating the paradigm shift and joint thinking, along with building a community of forward-thinking change leaders and sharing business solutions that make a real impact.

Platform members

We welcome all companies and organizations that are committed to speeding up the transition to a circular economy with their active work, activities, knowledge sharing, joint projects and collaborations.
