The Ellen MacArthur Foundation is delighted to invite you to our next Plastics Mission Workshop taking place on 3-5 November 2026 in Munich, Germany.

The 2030 Plastics Agenda for Business has real momentum, backed by over 20% of the market. That said, the environment is shifting fast. Join decision-makers from across the plastics value chain at an exclusive two-day residential workshop at Châteauform Seminarhaus Starnberger See in Munich to navigate that landscape together, scaling the 2030 Agenda through real action and measurable progress.

The world has never needed a circular economy more. In a shifting and uncertain world, the circular economy creates stability and resilience. This workshop offers an unmatched opportunity to come together, navigate those complexities, and drive our common vision forward.
Expect inspiring keynotes and interactive working sessions on individual action, collaborative action and policy engagement. 

Connect with peers, strengthen partnerships, and catalyse action as we chart the course toward a world free from plastic waste and pollution.
 

Decision makers implementing circular economy business models and pathways in their organisations, and advocating for the necessary market conditions, with a focus on packaging.
Across the two days, the agenda will address critical topics from across the packaging value chain. We’ll explore the three systemic barriers laid out in the 2030 Plastics Agenda — scaling reuse, tackling flexible packaging waste, and strengthening effective collection and recycling infrastructure — alongside the policy landscape and business case pressures shaping how organisations are responding today. As much as this is an opportunity to share what we're working on, it's equally a chance to understand what's driving decisions and creating friction for teams across the value chain right now.

We strongly encourage colleagues from across your organisation who are actively working in these areas to attend. Engaging with global viewpoints is central to the Plastics Mission’s approach, and diverse perspectives from across all regions are vital, so all relevant colleagues are warmly welcome.

If you’re unable to attend, please decline and nominate a colleague to represent your organisation in your absence.

'In the most dynamic and multi-faceted environment for circular packaging I've ever seen, it is more important than ever to come together in a focused setting to connect, learn, and jointly shape a cost-effective path towards our common vision. I can’t wait to see you there!'
