Growingpaper's printed material is made using biodegradable inks on paper made from recycled paper or cotton waste - with flower seeds in it. Once you've finished with it, put it aside until spring then plant it and help biodiversity!
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.
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 textiles sector needs to become more circular, and traceability of components across the supply chain, transparency of information, and reliable data for circular business models are the cornerstones of this process.
The Delegated Act for Textiles under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation is being prepared and will shape the Digital Product Passport in the textiles sector. The DPP must allow for the needs and capacities of actors throughout the supply chain in order to unlock circular business models and achieve the EU's environmental and social goals in the textile industry.
This policy brief gives an overview of the most pressing practical challenges facing these actors and provides actionable policy recommendations.
This webinar will explore the evolving regulatory and standards landscape that is reshaping the EU's fashion and clothing industry towards a circular economy. From the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation including Digital Product Passport and new Extended Producer Responsibility obligations to the practical role of international standards in achieving compliance, this session will provide essential insights into the critical changes ahead and the potential impact on SMEs.
CE-PRINCE (Central Europe Green PRocurement and Innovation Network for Circular Economy) is an Interreg Central Europe project. It aims to standardise circular procurement approaches across central European countries and industries.
Each year, the EEA takes stock of progress towards meeting the six objectives of the 8th Environment Action Programme (EAP), one of which is a regenerative circular economy.
The report finds that the EU's consumption exceeds the planet's 'safe operating space' for resource extraction and its consumption is unlikely to decrease significantly this decade. It is also unlikely that per capita total waste generation will significantly decrease by 2030.
Legislation already in place to prevent waste generation and improve waste management — including through recycling and the reuse of materials — has contributed to a relative decoupling of raw material consumption and waste generation from economic growth but significant additional efforts are needed to reach the 2030 targets.
This package of measures intended to simplify environmental legislation has been proposed by the European Commission. What impact will it have on the circular economy?
SUSBOARD is a new Horizon Europe Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Europe (CBE-JU) innovation project. It aims to develop a 100% bio-based, formaldehyde-free and cost-competitive adhesive for particleboard and medium-density fibreboard. The adhesive is manufactured using secondary biomass streams, and will greatly facilitate recycling and recovery.
The Horizon Europe iCOSHELLs project aims to reduce soil pollution and promote restoration, improve soil structure and biodiversity, and increase soil literacy. It has launched an open call for new stakeholders and prototypes (innovative practices, technologies, circular solutions or tools), to be tested in real-life conditions within the Living Labs.
