Applications are open for hosting EU Green Week 2025 partner events! Interested in hosting an event to raise awareness about the circular economy? Read the guidelines and apply now!
The Festival of Circular Economy is an opportunity to make connections, translate theory into positive, practical action, celebrate successes, learn from mistakes and help others avoid them, and make a difference by thinking and doing things differently.
The EU Green Electronics Working Group brings together representatives from Horizon Europe projects dedicated to promoting greener and more sustainable electronics across Europe. The goal is to enhance visibility and coordination between them and advance green electronics by developing innovative materials, next-generation manufacturing processes and improved recycling techniques.
This Circular Talk focused on research into the circular built environment.
Researchers and policymakers talked about their publications, and a comprehensive reading guide was presented which summarises these and other key publications to help participants navigate the wealth of information available on the circular built environment.
This WCEF2025 accelerator session explored innovative mechanisms for enhancing and protecting natural ecosystems, in accordance with COP16 commitments and global sustainability goals.
This accelerator session will explore innovative leadership and collaborative models driving circular economy transitions, featuring insights from both European and Brazilian pioneers.
With real-world case studies from the European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform and Brazilian initiatives, the discussion will highlight strategies for scaling circular solutions through inclusive and dynamic leadership.
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.
