On May 21, 2025, Veltha, in collaboration with the DeremCo Consortium, hosted an online SCREEN Policy Labdedicated to tackling regulatory barriers and exploring policy solutions for the reuse of composite materials in the circular economy.

The session brought together European policymakers, regional authorities, industry leaders, and legal experts to share insights and propose ways to streamline composite reuse, particularly around End-of-Waste status, quality standards, and interregional policy coordination.

Key speakers included Aimee Forcada (Veltha), Laura Mazzola (POLIMI), and Gian Marco Gioffré (WindEurope), as well as industry representatives from GREENTHESIS, Carbon Cleanup, BIRZIPLASTIK, and VEPLAS. Regional voices from Slovenia, the Basque Country, and Portugal joined the roundtable to advocate for harmonized certification frameworks and improved regulatory clarity at the EU level.

This dynamic exchange marked a key step toward a Policy Brief and upcoming follow-up actions planned for late 2025, reinforcing the Policy Lab’s evolution into a catalyst for tangible interregional cooperation and policy innovation.
