INFO AND PROGRAMME
The ambitions of the European Green Deal, including neutrality in terms of CO2 emissions by 2050, the Circular Economy Action Plan, the new Consumer Agenda, as well as the growing consumer focus on a product made by mitigating environmental externalities, represent a stimulating factor for the modernisation of the industry towards production models oriented towards sustainability and circularity.
A significant package of European-derived norms, including the Ecodesign for Sustainable Product Regulation (ESPR) and the provisions concerning the so-called Extended Producer Responsibility will characterise the business strategies of the sports industry in the space of a few years, while at the same time posing challenges that will affect the entire sector and that will require coordination and collaboration to be better addressed.
Starting from the experience of the Tecnica Group’s Recycle Your Boots project, the seminar will offer an opportunity for discussion between companies in the sector, institutional and research representatives to think about the sports product from an eco-design perspective, as well as to outline a possible sportsystem district approach to the issue of extended producer responsibility.
