This project has developed an alternative tooling process based on recyclable thermoplastic materials and large-scale additive manufacturing combined with milling.
This innovative process has drastically reduced the materials needed and the waste generated.
Theseus H4C is a Horizon project which brings together industry, city authorities and research organisations in order to co-create innovative circular solutions for managing resources, waste, energy, water, infrastructure and networks.
The RevHydro project aims to accelerate the integration of circular economy principles into hydropower plant operations and design an innovative fish barrier and guidance system.
The CEI BOOST project is linking up digitalisation and the circular economy in order to enable circular business models and accelerate the transition towards a sustainable circular economy. It focuses on specific policy instruments in nine countries and aims to improve them.
Waste To Resources Latvia - boosting regional sustainability and circularity is a Lifeproject which provides a framework for coordinating, testing and scaling up circular economy solutions at national level, involving multiple partners and thematic implementation areas.
So far, it has launched national digital platforms for reuse and industrial symbiosis, improved data availability and decision-support tools for the waste management sector, and enhanced quality assurance of secondary materials through an accredited polymer testing laboratory.
The RE-PLAN CITY LIFE project aims to raise awareness about the circular economy potential of materials, products and applications obtained from tyre recycling and encourage the uptake of environmentally-friendly behaviour and practice in urban communities.
Its platform includes a community and marketplace for exchanging practical information about recycled tyre materials and a calculator for assessing the circularity and environmental impact of products.
Circular ReBoundary is an initiative set up as part of the EU CircEUlar project focusing on developing circular pathways for an EU low-carbon transition. It provides information useful forprofessionals interested in circular economy practices. It is particularly relevant for the buildings, mobility and manufacturing sectors, but the rebound effects and stakeholder testimonials sections offer insights applicable across all industries.
Tech4Biowaste (A DYNAMIC DATABASE OF RELEVANT TECHNOLOGIES OF BIO-WASTE UTILISATION) was an EU-funded project which created a database providing a comprehensive technology overview for the valorisation of bio-waste. Businesses can promote their technologies and stakeholders can search for the most appropriate technology for their particular feedstock.
CityLoops (Closing the loop for urban material flows) was a Horizon 2020 project which focused on circular economy solutions for bio-waste and construction and demolition waste (CDW). Seven European cities implemented ten demonstration actions and tested over 30 new tools and processes, which are available together with replication packages and feedback from the cities which tested them.
The COLLECTORS project (waste COLLECTiOn systems assessed and good pRacticeS identified) identified good practices in waste collection and sorting, focusing on paper and packaging, waste electrical and electronic equipment, and construction and demolition.
