Myteria is an early-stage biomaterials initiative from the Netherlands developing circular interior panels grown from mycelium and locally sourced agricultural residues.
It rethinks how materials are made: instead of extracting and processing, they grow them using nature’s own binding system.
360° Foodservice is the collaborative platform dedicated to promoting the sustainable service of food and beverages across Europe.
It encompasses the whole supply chain of the foodservice packaging sector, from manufacturers to end-of-life solution providers. It unites companies that provide reuse and/or single use solutions for safely serving food and beverages to millions of Europeans every day, regardless of the materials that are used.
Collection and recycling must be in place for single use items once they have done their job. Reusable items must be collected and sanitised before being used again, and recycled when they reach the end of their useful life.
Members work towards promoting the sustainable evolution of single use and reuse systems for serving food and drinks in Europe.
The Circular Industry Coalition, led by Circul’R and CEA ISEC with the support of the French Ministry of Economy and Finance, brings together nine major industrial companies to address the growing systemic risks facing European industry.
After a year of collective work, the coalition has published a report highlighting the limits of the linear model and positioning a strong circular economy as a strategic lever for competitiveness, resilience and industrial sovereignty.
The report provides a shared assessment of industrial vulnerabilities and an operational roadmap to accelerate circular transformation at scale.
This project has developed an alternative tooling process based on recyclable thermoplastic materials and large-scale additive manufacturing combined with milling.
This innovative process has drastically reduced the materials needed and the waste generated.
On 31 March, the EU Ecolabel, in conjunction with the ECESP, organised an EU Circular Talk on 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.
The summit will bring together international leaders, researchers, policymakers, industry innovators and civil society to explore how the bioeconomy can drive socio-economic transformation and climate action.
They're calling for proposals for workshops and satellite activities/site visits!
This European Commission Staff Working Document covers the carbon-efficient design, material supply, construction and operation of buildings. It considers the supply and demand for materials, energy and built space.
Packaging uses large quantities of primary raw materials. Increasing quantities of packaging are generated in the EU while the levels of re-use, collection and recycling remain low.
See what the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation covers and aims to achieve.
Electric vehicles are rapidly transforming the transportation landscape. Circularity solutions, namely recycling and second-life applications, are central to addressing environmental impacts and securing access to valuable materials in electric vehicle batteries (EVBs).
Consolidating lessons learnt from the BATRAW project, this report identifies three key enabling conditions for scaling up circularity applications for EVBs in the EU: (i) effective implementation of the EU policy framework underpinned by the Batteries Regulation; (ii) strengthened financial support for scaling up battery circularity applications; and (iii) further harmonisation of the standardisation landscape impacting EVB circularity.
