European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform

• What are the EU policies towards waste management?
• What are the implications of the circular economy for the waste management sector?
• What is the public/private provision in waste management in Europe?
• Which multinational companies dominate the sector?
• What are the current collective bargaining arrangements?
• What are the opportunities and obstacles for organising waste management workers in Europe?

• Improving the health and safety of workers
• Ensuring quality jobs and decent pay and conditions
• Fighting against social dumping
• Improving the quality of jobs through up-skilling.

These factsheets outline circular economy opportunities to design out urban waste and pollution, ensure products and materials maintain their value, and regenerate the natural systems in our cities.

Easy-to-reference, the factsheets are a collation of research and case examples that answer some of the most prevalent questions around what circular economy can bring to cities:

• Why is change in cities needed?
• What circular economy opportunities address key urban system issues?
• What can urban policymakers do to harness circular economy opportunities?
• What are the potential economic, social, and environmental benefits of these opportunities?

The whole collection of factsheets, by system and phase, is available on the Ellen Mac Arthur Foundation website.

Waste and pollution from the production of textiles and clothing have become critical global issues. This report launched by Ecopreneur.eu and the European Sustainable Business Federation calls for decisive policy measures based on 5 pillars:

• Innovation policies: funding research programmes, investment tax deduction, support for technological development and SMEs.
• Economic incentives: procurement, extended producer responsibility, VAT, tax shift.
• Regulation: common regulatory framework for transparency and traceability, circular design, improved end-of-waste status.
• Trade policies: facilitating export of reusable textile waste and avoiding negative social impacts in producing countries.
• Voluntary actions: covenants, commitments and standards to engage stakeholders.

The Circular Prague report is a visual roadmap that identifies the strategies that are best positioned to kick-start the Czech capital’s transition towards a circular economy.

The report marks the culmination of Prague’s Circle City Scan; a 12-month collaborative innovation process involving local government, research organisations and businesses. The collaborative Circle City Scan process has highlighted the potential to promote circular lifestyles in ReUse Hubs using public procurement, to boost the construction through circular procurement, and  to use the city’s food waste as biomethane to power the city’s waste collection fleet.
