HOOP's Investment Package Manual was developed using a three-step approach and the public version has been distributed in three volumes.
Volume II guides the reader through the selection and inventory of funding and financing schemes, programmes, instruments and tools for investment projects on circular bioeconomy and bioenergy at European level.
HOOP's Investment Package Manual was developed using a three-step approach and the public version has been distributed in three volumes.
Volume I describes the EU Taxonomy concepts as applied to economic activities linked to circular bioeconomy technologies, processes, activities and bioproducts from biowaste and wastewater sludge feedstocks.
High upfront investment costs are a recurring challenge for many circular economy initiatives.
The two Horizon Europe projects Deciso and Hoop address this issue by providing project development assistance, including the development of financing solutions and business plans for local circular economy initiatives with the ultimate aim of leveraging further public and private investment.
This Brussels event will serve as a platform to exchange advice and share best practices on financing circular economy initiatives.
REPLACE - REgional PoLicy Actions for Circular Economy - is holding its final conference in Rome on 5 April 2023. On this occasion eight European Regions will showcase the results and the impact generated by this interregional cooperation project centred on environment and resource efficiency.
On 26 April the municipality of Wiltz, considered to be the "Municipal Hotspot of the Circular Economy in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg", will hold the annual "Circular Economy Day" conference. This event aims to promote the circular economy at national and regional level by sharing the experience and know-how established through multiple projects and by activating and consolidating the network of stakeholders active in the circular field. The 2023 event will focus on urban metabolism.
This webinar on 11 April follows the European Commission’s proposal for the European Critical Raw Materials Regulation on 16 March 2023. It aims to explore some of the opportunities and challenges linked to the EU’s new strategy for securing the supply of CRMs, both inside and outside the EU.
The regulation will have implications for the EU’s own internal environmental and circular economy-related objectives, as well as external impacts through shifts in demand for CRMs and trade flows. This event will identify focus areas for policymakers and the international community to ensure that the objectives of the regulation can be achieved by accelerating the shift to a global circular economy without hindering global sustainable development goals.
For the eighth time, the Cradle to Cradle NGO is inviting 1000 participants to come and debate and network at the International Cradle to Cradle Congress 2023 on 8 and 9 September.
The Congress will feature panel discussions with high-profile speakers from business, politics and science, good practices from established companies and start-ups, inspiring keynote speeches about the circular transformation of our society and many opportunities for networking.
Tyres are complex products essential to the mobility of millions of Europeans. Likewise, tyre recycling is essential to the sustainability of the entire tyre value chain, be it in terms of resource efficiency or climate neutrality. Yet, despite a landmark landfill ban in 2006, much needs to be done to improve the circularity of tyres. To give an order of magnitude, today, for one tyre that is recycled, one tyre gets incinerated for energy recovery, and the worse in terms of end-markets opportunities is yet to come.
The EuRIC conference on tyre recycling takes place in Brussels on 18 April 2023.
The World Circular Economy Forum 2023 Expo Area at Messukeskus in Helsinki, Finland will shine a spotlight on selected circular economy solutions from around the world. Would you like to present your solution to the global audience at the Forum?
Remember that WCEF Side Events can be organised throughout 2023!
The D-CARBONIZE project is kicking off by recruiting 12 doctoral candidates for training on using biomass to produce bioplastics. The candidates will learn how to use circular chemistry to develop monomers from biochar sources for use in the production of recyclable bioplastics.
Coordinated by the ICIQ, the D-CARBONIZE Project is part of Horizon Europe's Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions and is a consortium of 12 partners.
