Circular Monday Austria 2026 is a hybrid event focused on practical ways to extend the useful life of products and make circular practices part of everyday life. It will take place on 23 November 2026 at Climate Lab Vienna, with an online option. 3
The programme centres on twelve circular initiatives from across Austria. Short presentations will cover approaches including refurbishment, repair, sharing, renting, second-hand purchasing and resale, showing how individuals and organisations put these practices into effect. 3 The event is aimed at anyone interested in learning about or further developing the circular economy, including consumers, businesses, organisations and communities. 3
The evening begins with welcome remarks from Evelina Lundqvist and Andreas Van-Hametner, followed by the initiative presentations and a discussion about steps participants can take. In-person attendees can also take part in networking at the venue. 3 The event is organised by Ressourcen Forum Austria in collaboration with Climate Lab and The Good Tribe. 3 It is free to attend, although in-person places are limited; online attendees receive a link after registering. 3
The event reflects the wider Circular Monday campaign, which promotes circular consumption as an alternative to buying new and is held on the Monday before Black Friday. 24 The global movement was founded in Malmö, Sweden, in 2017 by Henning Gillberg; its international campaign and network now reach beyond Austria. 4 Separately, the Circular Economy Forum Austria describes itself as an independent multi-stakeholder platform supporting companies and connecting stakeholders to advance circular value chains, but the event listing does not state when the forum was founded. 8
