European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform

RUNFASTER4EU is a new Horizon Europe Innovation Action which aims to show that it is possible to use unproductive, polluted or otherwise unused land to grow crops as feedstock for biobased products. This approach does not take land away from food or feed production while supporting the EU's bioeconomy. 

On 29 January, the Committee of the Regions hosted Municipal Waste Europe for a partnership event on textile waste, taking stock of the first year of mandatory separate collection of textile waste in the EU. 

Speakers discussed challenges on the supply and demand sides, along with the role of policy. Read all about it!
