The annual Organic Awards promote the reduction of agriculture’s impact on the environment and climate.
Resource efficiency is very much in tune with circular economy principles, so if you have an appropriate project, send in your application by 26 April!
The technological development of Digital Product Passports (DPPs) is moving fast but can research and policy keep up? CE-RISE project partners will gather in Brussels for a morning of honest conversation about where DPPs actually stand: what's working, what isn't and what needs to happen next.
The National Day of Reuse and the Circular Economy will take place in several venues across France. Take part in this event which aims to speed up the transformation of the construction sector.
The ECESP Annual Conference will provide a high-level platform to discuss the ambitions, scope and policy direction of the Circular Economy Act, situating it within the broader EU framework, investment needs and global developments.
It will be two days of talks, discussions and workshops. The networking village will shine a spotlight on interesting circular initiatives, and there will be plenty of opportunities for networking!
Registration for in-person participation is now closed, but most of the sessions will be livestreamed.
This is the Ellen McArthur Foundation's key policy recommendations for the Circular Economy Act.
They argue that by rapidly aligning regulatory requirements and fiscal incentives across the EU single market without further delay, the CEA can enable a European secondary raw materials market and circular business models to succeed, while harmonising environmental and industrial policy goals.
They propose three core policy levers:
Build a true EU single market where circular products and secondary materials can move freely.
Leverage price and demand signals to make upstream circular solutions the most accessible and affordable choice for buyers.
Treat the circular economy as a core industrial strategy to strengthen circular supply and value chains through industrial collaboration.
The strategy aims to make a robust and successful circular economy a central pillar in driving Scotland’s innovation and growth towards a sustainable future.
Published in March 2026, it sets out what Scotland aims to achieve by 2045. It focuses on sectors and products in order to optimise the impacts of individual materials, such as plastics, critical materials and chemicals, across the supply chain as a whole.
The goal is to make Scotland a net zero and nature-positive nation, helped by the significant progress in transitioning towards a circular economy with sustainable levels of material use. Scotland will have a thriving economy that meets societal needs and is based on circular economy principles, and will have reduced the negative global impact of its production and consumption.
The CCRI hands-on online workshops will focus on a key implementation challenge identified in the CCRI communities of practice. They will translate those insights into practical tools, methods and examples that participants can apply in their own context.
This session will look at Consumption‑based emissions (CBE) which show the climate impact of what cities consume, not just what they produce. It will introduce what a Consumption‑Based Emissions (CBE) inventory is, what it can (and cannot) tell you, and how cities are beginning to use CBE insights to inform circular economy action.
The CCRI hands-on online workshops will focus on a key implementation challenge identified in the CCRI communities of practice. They will translate those insights into practical tools, methods and examples that participants can apply in their own context.
This session will focus on how planning can support the reuse of existing assets, limit land take, reserve space for circular activities and create the right conditions for circular design and material use in new developments.
Building on its previous collaboration with the European Remanufacturing Council, Ihobe, the Basque Country’s Environmental Agency, has developed and published the Remanufacturing Maturity Level Evaluation Guide.
This manual will contribute to the ongoing development of the new European CEN standard on Remanufacturing – Classification of the quality of circular processes.
