On 22 February, Tondo will present the report on the Taranto Circolare project in a webinar.
Taranto Circolare has conducted an in-depth study of the level of circularity in the Taranto area. Tondo's team focused on material and energy flows in the macro-sectors of the province of Taranto in 2020, covering inputs, outputs, waste and emissions, and quantifying the region's level of circularity.
The GO-GRASS final event will be a chance to discuss the project's final results and the implications for grass-based businesses in a future bio-based economy. It will feature a session on circular business models and technologies developed by the project, two policy panels with high-level representatives from EU, national and local level stakeholders and an excursion to a grass-based paper production facility in the Netherlands.
This workshop will present, highlight and discuss the state of play and future issues related to sustainability in the fashion, clothing and textiles sector. It will also launch the book on Accelerating Sustainability in Fashion, Clothing and Textiles, withpresentations from the editors and contributors.
There will be roundtable discussions covering key topics highlighted in the book (such as the circular economy, innovation and new business models, design and materials) and networking opportunities.

Take part in the high-level event organised by the European Commission as part of the Bioeconomy Changemakers Festival!
This high-level event is part of the Bioeconomy Changemakers Festival, a collection of events organised by the European Commission (DG Research and Innovation) in cooperation with the Bioeconomy Youth Ambassadors from 11 to 17 March.
Along with the high-level event, the festival will comprise over 30 satellite events organised by third party organisations all over Europe. The festival aims to engage young people as drivers of the transformative change needed to address the multiple challenges facing Europe and to unlock the potential of the bioeconomy to make that transformation happen.
A Digital Product Passport (DPP) is being discussed as a core instrument for building a circular economy, itself a key enabler of climate neutrality. Although there is not yet a standardised, cross-sectoral and cross-company product passport system, there are already individual solutions for collecting information for certain product groups.
A DPP needs to be made available digitally for all stakeholders in order to increase transparency throughout the entire product lifecycle.
This paper answers the following questions:
Why are politicians pushing for a DPP in connection with the circular economy?
What is a DPP?
What already exists?
What does a DPP need?
How ready are companies for a DPP? How can a DPP be delivered?
The conference on 24 April seeks to present the issue of phosphorus scarcity in the Visegrad Group (V4) countries, which will hinder food production in the region, and to set out innovative technological, environmental, economic and social solutions that can be implemented under the Circular Economy and Green Deal Strategies.
Nordic Innovation has set up the Nordic Circular Accelerator programme, a free, one-year programme to help you and your partners scale up your circular efforts. It gives participants access to a network of cross-industry leaders and experts in circularity and data, one-to-one guidance and the opportunity to learn from companies.
