On 4 June, ECN welcomed its members from across Europe to Brussels for its 2025 Annual Meeting. The event provided an important platform for dialogue and collaboration on the future of biowaste management in Europe and led strategic discussions on the central role of ECN in promoting sustainable biowaste treatment practices, advocating for favourable legislation and fostering innovation.
It was held in conjunction with the final LIFE BIOBEST event.
The Annual Meeting also saw the election of new members of the Board, as well the re-election of the Chair and Vice-Chair. The new composition of the ECN Board is as follows:
- Kristel Vandenbroek (2022) (Vlaco, BE), re-elected as Chair of ECN.
- Massimo Centemero (2022) (CIC, IT), re-elected as Vice-Chair of ECN.
