For the 2026 edition, around thirty masterclasses will bring together experts and practitioners across three sector-focused agoras.
Explore the first announced topics and confirmed sessions.
Rexel places environmental assessment at the heart of its circular economy strategy in order to strengthen the supply of refurbished products. In 2025, a group of experts including ecosystem came together with Rexel and Terraquota to develop the first version of a white paper proposing a simplified methodology for calculating the carbon footprint of refurbished products. Discover this white paper and the key insights and success factors behind this collaborative initiative.
Explore new second-life strategies for mobility batteries through the partnership between ecosystem and Doctibike. Learn how optimized collection and refurbishment can sustainably extend the lifespan of equipment and strengthen the circular economy.
Explore a virtuous partnership where ABB’s commitment to the circular economy meets Envie’s refurbishment expertise to deliver a unique reuse solution in France. By reducing waste and fostering local social inclusion, this ecosystem-supported project illustrates how calls for projects can accelerate industrial circularity.
The lifespan of reused products is a key indicator for engaging consumers and assessing the environmental benefits of reuse. Yet it remains difficult to estimate reliably. Based on a study conducted jointly by ecosystem, Envie and Toluna, discover how long reused devices actually last and how consumers perceive this second life. Concrete findings to better understand, measure and promote reuse.
France has set ambitious reuse targets through the AGEC law, while the European Union is developing its own policy framework. Yet the regulatory landscape is still perceived as fragmented, unclear, and insufficient to enable reuse stakeholders to grow under competitive and sustainable conditions.
So what is the current reality of the regulatory framework in practice? What are the key priorities and areas for improvement? Let’s take stock of the current situation and explore the regulatory opportunities ahead.
ecosystem has launched a large-scale initiative to deploy the Digital Product Passport (DPP) together with Fnac Darty, Beko and the Envie Federation. After 18 months of on-the-ground experience, we will present the tools and processes now available. Discover practical strategies for deploying the DPP for your products whether new, repaired or reused.
Decathlon has made a key transition from product repair to large-scale circular models (repair, second-hand, rental), fundamentally transforming its operations. This masterclass will share this experience through the lens of back-office functions: supply chain, flows, IT, governance and performance management. It will also explore Decathlon’s strategic choices and current challenges as it works to make circularity a major industrial lever of its operating model.

If packaging is redesigned for reuse, labels must be too. As both an information medium and a marketing tool, labels play a decisive role in the user experience and in the efficiency of reuse cycles.
This masterclass will explore reuse in its various forms, including:
– Consumer reuse of packaging
– Reuse of glass containers in industrial systems
– Reuse of glass containers in the food service sector (HoReCa)
– Reuse of industrial plastic containers
We will share our vision of permanent identification to track the life cycle of containers, as well as “non-permanent” identification for variable elements.
We will also present our perspective on adhesive labels as facilitators of reuse, washing processes and product identification.
Traceability is a key performance lever for the reuse of packaging. It is also a prerequisite of the EPR scheme for industrial and commercial packaging. But how can traceability be implemented easily and integrated into day-to-day operations without adding complexity? Which traceability solutions deliver which benefits, and at what cost? To answer these questions, this session will share practical feedback and provide an overview of existing solutions.
Léko, in coordination with CETIE, is developing a testing protocol designed to assess the reusability of glass bottles. This framework establishes a robust and shared methodology based on a series of technical tests that objectively evaluate an упаковaging’s ability to withstand repeated use cycles.
Co-developed with glass manufacturers and reuse operators, this reference framework aims to harmonise glassmaking practices in order to expand the range of reusable packaging and increase reuse rates in France.
The GS1 EPCIS standard actively contributes to improving the traceability of reusable packaging in order to prepare for scaling up reuse systems.
This standard provides a comprehensive model of the different events occurring throughout the reuse loop, enabling the exchange of event data independently of any specific information system.
