Current methods of dealing with end of life ships are, to say the least, sub optimal. They cause injury and death to underpaid workers and harm the environment.

The Association for Farmers Rights Defence (AFRD) in Georgia is working with farmers, researchers, innovators, SMEs and local communities to develop circular value chains. Agricultural waste is used as a raw material, cutting waste and helping farmers.

This report shows that the EU has the capacity to recycle its end-of-life ships safely and responsibly. It argues that rather than a lack of capacity, the main reason for ships being sent to South Asian beaches for dismantling under poor environmental and labour conditions is loopholes that allow shipowners to avoid EU rules.
With thousands of European-owned ships expected to reach the end of their lives in the coming years, the EU has an opportunity to strengthen its recycling industry, create jobs, recover valuable steel and reduce pollution. The report calls for a ban on beaching, stronger rules to hold shipowners accountable, and investment in safe recycling facilities in Europe.
This annual international conference and exhibition focuses on land and water remediation markets and technologies, which can bring contaminated land and water back into use.
It is global in scope, spreading know-how and technologies worldwide.

Municipal waste companies have the potential to do more than collect waste. This webinar will look at how they can enable local circular economy transitions.
Biopolus has developed the BioMakery, a modular hub which processes wastewaste into useable resources. The BioMakery also offers awareness raising, energy recovery, urban farming and community function options – in a single attractive facility!
