Dr Fiori A. Zafeiropoulou Fronimopoulou gives a talk which takes fashion as a starting point - and leads on to the social impact of the fashion industry, the limits of the linear system and how cities can become makers again!
This webinar will explore the latest developments in the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation and what it means for the fashion, clothing and textile industry, especially SMEs.
The eighth annual conference of the Italian Platform of Actors for the Circular Economy (ICESP) will be an opportunity to discuss good practices in the circular economy.
Learn about why they are important and how they can drive the circular transition!
This small-group workshop is a guided walkthrough of The First Circular Business Move – Roadmap, a practical canvas series designed to help businesses move from early circular action to intentional, long-term change.
It will be an opportunity to get a clearer sense of how to approach your circular transition and to give feedback on the tool.
AIMPLAS held its 9th International Seminar on Biopolymers and Sustainable Composites earlier this week. It was an opportunity for technical debate on regulation, certification and innovation in the field of biopolymers. Have a look at the innovations presented!
This event will bring together experts, policymakers, researchers and practitioners to discuss how innovation, governance and finance can accelerate the transition toward a circular economy.
Join us for a dynamic EU Circular Talk exploring how the EU Ecolabel acts as a ready-to-use tool helping businesses deliver circularity, meet rising legislative expectations, and gain a competitive edge across EU markets.
Bio-based plastics are wholly or partly derived from biomass and so help reduce reliance on fossil fuel-based plastics.
Feedstocks include primary and secondary sources. Agricultural and forestry residues and post-consumption organic waste have lower environmental impacts than primary feedstock but collection and transportation issues make scaling up a challenge.
As a whole, the sector is struggling to achieve real scale: bio-based plastics account for only 0.5% of global plastics production and are projected to reach 1% by 2030.
Scaling is hampered by feedstock sustainability, competitiveness, technological maturity and cost: currently, producing bio-plastic is generally 1.5 to 2 times more expensive than conventional plastics.
