This side session will introduce the EU Textiles Ecosystem Platform, a European Commission initiative designed to support stakeholders across the textiles ecosystem value chain. Find out what it is and how it works!
This study commissioned by the EEA assesses the potential to enhance the circularity of bio-based waste within the framework of the 2025 update of the EU Bioeconomy Strategy.
It focuses on identifying opportunities to move bio-based waste streams up the waste hierarchy, retain technical and economic value and minimise environmental impacts.
The study maps waste generation, collection, treatment and reporting practices across the EU and the technologies for managing biowaste.
It finds that better separate collection and development of high-value recovery pathways could reduce environmental pressures, greenhouse gas emissions and import dependence, though technological feasibility and scalability remain uncertain.
The Circular City Centre - C3 runs a Circular City Advisory programme and a Circular Project Advisory programme to support cities at various stages of their circular transition. They have just launched a new call for applications (deadline: 6 March). Online Q&A sessions will take place 28 January and 25 February.
The FertiCovery project focuses on nutrient recovery and the production of fertilisers from biowaste, manure and wastewater.
This workshop will bring together project partners and stakeholders to review, discuss and validate the final list of indicators which will serve as the basis for benchmarking nutrient recycling and biobased fertiliser production technologies.
This public hearing is organised in connection with the opinion being prepared by the EESC on A comprehensive strategy for nature-based biodegradable materials to foster circularity and resource efficiency, strengthen the agri-food sector and scale-up the EU bioeconomy. The hearing will gather input for a comprehensive strategy for nature-based biodegradable materials.
LOOP Forum is the leading Nordic meeting place for companies working with the circular economy and resource efficiency.
It will bring together decision-makers from across industries to explore how circular solutions can strengthen competitiveness, secure access to critical resources, and build more resilient European value chains.
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.
Every year, the Valencian agricultural sector generates around 800 000 tons of plant waste, such as rice straw and citrus pruning waste. Unfortunately, the methods used to recover this biomass are costly. The EU-funded BIOVALSA project aims to develop innovative processes for manufacturing sustainable bioplastics from these waste streams.
SustainableSolutionsMatch empowers European businesses on their path to a sustainable and circular economy. It brings solution seekers and providers together to tackle real challenges and find practical answers.
The European Commission has unveiled a first set of pilot actions to accelerate Europe's transition to a circular economy, with a particular focus on the plastics sector. See what the package involves!
