Resources without identity become waste, and this issue must be tackled in order to foster the circular economy. This webinar will discuss methods for assigning appropriate information to goods, tracking them and then processing and transfering this data efficiently, using state-of-the-art technologies such as AI, visual tracking systems, the Internet of Things and common communication languages.

Revivack has set up the world's first system based on blockchain technology that facilitates the individual return of unwanted items to the manufacturer. These items can therefore be recovered in an orderly, transparent and reliable way, contributing to the promotion of the circular economy.
This webinar will delve into recommendations for unlocking funding for circular economy projects. It will analyse the regulatory, market, social and technological barriers hindering the scaling and replication of circular economy models, and discuss strategies to overcome these challenges. By sharing lessons learned from successful EU initiatives, participants will gain insight that will enable them to replicate these initiatives in their own regions and cities.
The EcoSynergy System proposes a platform of common interest that brings together experts, companies, ecologists and developers to implement a new circular economy model.
In this model, platform members hand in any type of clean raw materials from packaging owned by individuals, service activities and industry to the EcoSynergy system. These materials are suitable for direct use in industries with a minimal environmental impact, and are monetised in the ECOSS environmental blockchain algorithm.
The ECOSS environmental blockchain algorithm rewards members through economic incentives by enabling them to access food and non-food products directly at production/factory prices.
