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.
Presentation of how traceability, certifications, and labeling reassure market stakeholders and support the structuring of emerging and industrial reuse and refurbishment sectors, such as healthcare, rail, and electronics.
In a rapidly growing refurbished market, certification is becoming an essential benchmark. It provides transparency, ensures regulatory compliance, and demonstrates a genuine environmental commitment. A cross-discussion on the outlook and impact of certification on practices and user trust.
The reuse of DIY and gardening products is paving the way for a new activity. However, several barriers remain: lack of visibility, logistical challenges, and the need to adapt professional practices. Overcoming these obstacles is essential to enable the sector to structure itself on a long-term basis.
COVID crisis → global semiconductor shortage
Taiwan tensions → 90% of the world’s advanced chips concentrated on a single island
Wars / geopolitical tensions:
AI chips = inflation → new hardware prices up 20–40% / delivery times tripled
The DPP will soon become mandatory for Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE). But beyond compliance, it is a lever to differentiate your products, improve their ecodesign, and access demanding markets. This masterclass gives you the keys to act now: what data to collect, how to structure it, and above all, how to turn it into a commercial asset.
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.

Leveraging EPD Data to Build Digital Product Passports in Construction
While many goods and pieces of equipment are discarded or dismantled each year without capturing their potential value, reuse is emerging as a strategic solution to maintain their functionality and extend their lifespan.
From packaging to WEEE (waste electrical and electronic equipment), including industrial machinery, these products often remain functional despite their “obsolescence.” Repair and spare parts therefore become key strategies for restoring value to obsolete items and keeping equipment and products in use.
Waste reduction, extended product lifespans, greater independence from manufacturers, and savings in time and money… this Masterclass will explore the key challenges of combating obsolescence through reuse across various sectors.

PCDS / data standards
To scale up reuse practices, companies can start from several entry points.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) makes it possible to analyze impacts throughout the entire life cycle.
The Product Circularity Data Sheet (PCDS), supported by the ISO 59040 standard, provides an operational tool focused on product characteristics.
It helps identify reuse levers, facilitates their implementation, and anticipates the necessary adaptations from the design phase onward.
This masterclass offers an opportunity to understand the PCDS, its benefits, and its complementarity with LCA, through practical case studies.
At a time when the world is once again becoming a stage for imperial power struggles, France must more than ever protect and intelligently support its future. The circular economy—a unique driver of economic and industrial sovereignty, local dynamism and social cohesion, and a proactive ecological transition—must be elevated to the rank of absolute priority in this context. What strategy should we adopt to turn this into a truly comprehensive political and societal project?
This masterclass explores the key role of communication in making these issues accessible, engaging, and tangible. Through examples and best practices, discover how to turn complex concepts into messages that inspire action.

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

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.
