PACCT for Sustainability (Product as a service to Accelerate Cooperation & Circular Transformation) is a platform which aims to make service and sustainability the keystone of businesses across Europe and to build a European community focused on Product as a Service.
It is organising a webinar exploring how Efficiency-as-a-Service in the building sector can be a game changer in achieving key environmental targets and objectives.
Join the Global Green Action Day initiative tackling plastic pollution through collaboration, innovation and action.
Held in support of UN World Environment Day on 5 June, this initiative has a twist: because this is a complex challenge, you can only participate if you have completed the online training, which includes lessons, expert panels, guest talks and webinars.
AIMPLAS has developed a device which demonstrates how the Digital Product Passport for plastic products will work. This tool provides essential information about the traceability, materials, recycling and carbon footprint of products.

The rise in demand for electronics and programmed obsolescence have increased electronic waste. New sustainable and/or recyclable electronic devices need to be developed.
Devices could be made sustainable by using biobased materials and avoiding those which harm the environment. These materials could be used to develop specific devices, such as resistive temperature sensors attached to flexible materials. The variation in the resistance of the sensor depends on the material of which they are made. In this work, resistive temperature sensors are screen printed using four different pastes: a silver-based commercial paste and three carbon-based pastes. The sensors are printed onto glass fibre substrate to ensure flexibility and infused with a resin to produce a composite.
CircuLaw is an open-source knowledge platform that helps policymakers, project leaders and purchasers effectively utilise existing laws and regulations to accelerate the transition to a circular economy.
The Arctic Circular Economy Summit (ACES) aims to be the most memorable circular transition event in the Arctic. Come and meet experts interested in practical solutions enabling the circular economy in remote areas!
This conference will present papers by young scientists, PhD students, students and scientific groups on new technological and IT solutions and innovative products and materials supporting sustainable (including circular) and competitive development.
Representatives of science, industry and start-ups will also promote implemented projects, innovative product solutions and innovations in the business process.
EUIndTech2025 will bring together stakeholders from research organisations, industry, industry associations, NGOs and policy makers to discuss state-of-the-art technologies, technological challenges and future trends in the field of industrial technologies.
It will focus on presenting solutions and best practices while developing written recommendations for new EU policies in four key areas: technology, materials, science and business, community in action.
The European Training Foundation has launched the fifth Green Skills Award, an annual competition designed to provide ideas and inspiration for policy makers and practitioners on how things can be done when it comes to green skills deployment and promoting sustainability.
Shifting mindsets is just as crucial as setting criteria when it comes to circular procurement. How can we move beyond compliance-driven approaches and embed circular thinking into procurement strategies? This #EUCircularTalks event hosted by the ECESP Leadership Group on Circular Procurement and EU Competitiveness explored these topics.
