We’re honoured to have our colleague Daniel Houska re-elected this week in Brussels as a Board member and Treasurer to the European Recycling Industries’ Confederation (EuRIC).

Daniel Houska in EuRIC

EuRIC is at a forefront of the circular economy agenda and a member to many European and international organizations, such as Platform on Sustainable Finance, Business at OECD or Coordination Group of the Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform, and a regular guest speaker – including Daniel – to many high-level conferences (e.g. G7/G20 Environment or COP).

We believe this will further help strengthen our position and visibility in the area of sustainability and circular economy, both being among our strategic priorities. Congratulations!
