Circular Economy Day

On June 5, 2025, we wel­co­med the BDE Fede­ral Asso­cia­ti­on of the Ger­man Was­te Manage­ment, Water, and Recy­cling Indus­try to our pre­mi­ses for Cir­cu­lar Eco­no­my Day. With this event, the BDE has crea­ted a plat­form that pro­mo­tes important dia­lo­gue bet­ween poli­tics, busi­ness, and socie­ty on the sub­ject of the cir­cu­lar economy.

The event offe­red the appro­xi­m­ate­ly 450 par­ti­ci­pan­ts in our forum exci­ting key­notes, lively panel talks, and a diver­se exhi­bi­ti­on in the foy­er. “Our eco­no­my faces enorm­ous chal­lenges – but also enorm­ous oppor­tu­ni­ties,” empha­si­zed Anja Sie­ges­mund, Exe­cu­ti­ve Pre­si­dent of the BDE, in her wel­co­me address. The par­ti­ci­pa­ti­on of the new Fede­ral Minis­ter for the Envi­ron­ment, Cli­ma­te Pro­tec­tion, Natu­re Con­ser­va­ti­on, and Nuclear Safe­ty, Cars­ten Schnei­der, was par­ti­cu­lar­ly important.

We were deligh­ted to recei­ve feed­back from Dirk Bött­ner-Lan­golf, press spo­kes­man and head of com­mu­ni­ca­ti­ons, press and public rela­ti­ons at the BDE:

„Dear Ms. Fau­zan, thank you very much for pro­vi­ding the impres­si­ve AXICA pre­mi­ses for our ‘Cir­cu­lar Eco­no­my Day’. The extra­or­di­na­ry archi­tec­tu­re and inspi­ring ambi­ence con­tri­bu­ted signi­fi­cant­ly to the suc­cess of the event. We would par­ti­cu­lar­ly like to high­light the excel­lent coope­ra­ti­on with the enti­re AXICA team – from tech­ni­cal sup­port and event manage­ment to the ser­vice staff. The con­sis­t­ent­ly fri­end­ly and pro­fes­sio­nal man­ner of ever­yo­ne invol­ved con­tri­bu­ted great­ly to the posi­ti­ve atmosphere.”

The “Cir­cu­lar Eco­no­my Day” impres­si­ve­ly demons­tra­ted how important it is to pro­mo­te the cir­cu­lar eco­no­my as a decisi­ve eco­no­mic and loca­ti­on fac­tor – a cau­se that we, as a venue for sus­tainable con­gres­ses and con­fe­ren­ces, are hap­py to support.
