This session delves into the theme of Circular Economy (CE) business models in the transport sector, exploring opportunities, challenges, and boundaries. The discussion focuses on mode-specific aspects related to data, materials, design, and End-of-Life (EoL), aiming to identify commonalities, differences, and potential actions. The session is divided into presentations by speakers, each lasting 10 minutes, and a panel discussion that incorporates audience input. Attendees will benefit by learning more about CE business models, exchanging knowledge and experiences, and gaining insights into research needs and policy requirements within the transport sector. Key take-away messages include priorities for addressing challenges and hurdles, emphasizing the crucial role of implementation for competitiveness and resource sovereignty.
