AIMPLAS, the Plastics Technology Centre, has prepared an interesting article about contaminants in wastewaste. See how policymakers have updated the legislative framework for wastewater treatment, water reuse and the control of emerging contaminants.
This study commissioned by the EEA assesses the potential to enhance the circularity of bio-based waste within the framework of the 2025 update of the EU Bioeconomy Strategy.
It focuses on identifying opportunities to move bio-based waste streams up the waste hierarchy, retain technical and economic value and minimise environmental impacts.
The study maps waste generation, collection, treatment and reporting practices across the EU and the technologies for managing biowaste.
It finds that better separate collection and development of high-value recovery pathways could reduce environmental pressures, greenhouse gas emissions and import dependence, though technological feasibility and scalability remain uncertain.
This report supports the implementation of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation within the framework of the European Green Deal and the Circular Economy Action Plan 2.0.
Prepared by the Joint Research Centre for the Directorate-General for Environment, it draws on contributions from external contractors, over 25 000 EU citizens and more than 250 expert stakeholders. The study addresses the fragmentation of waste-sorting labels across Member States, a key barrier to efficient recycling and the functioning of the internal market.
The technical proposal sets out a harmonised system of waste-sorting labels for packaging and receptacles across the EU, geared to removing market barriers while ensuring that consumers receive clear, consistent and actionable sorting instructions.
The FertiCovery project focuses on nutrient recovery and the production of fertilisers from biowaste, manure and wastewater.
This workshop will bring together project partners and stakeholders to review, discuss and validate the final list of indicators which will serve as the basis for benchmarking nutrient recycling and biobased fertiliser production technologies.
This Nordic Track session will give key insights from the Circular Build Forum, provide an overview of the Nordic Circular Construction project and launch the Nordic Community for Circular Construction.
Learn how the Nordic Circular Construction project intends to scale commercially viable circular construction solutions across the Nordic markets!
A new EU-funded project has been launched to develop a deposit-return system for used textiles across Europe. Known as TexMat, the initiative will reward consumers for returning reusable and recyclable items, while notifying producers when discarded textiles require waste management.
This exclusive briefing and networking event will provide an overview of the current situation and challenges related to war debris and hazardous waste management in Ukraine and highlight investment and business opportunities for companies and stakeholders interested in contributing to Ukraine’s circular recovery and reconstruction.
The 2019 Single-Use Plastics Directive addresses the problem of marine - principally plastic - litter. It will be evaluated next year, and the process is starting with a public consultation. Give your views by 17 March!
The ESNI-NERM (The European Sustainable Nutrient Initiative (ESNI) Conference and the Nutrients in Europe Research Meeting (NERM) conference will be an opportunity to present and discuss scientific evidence and technological innovations that can support the European Commission’s goals on nutrient management.
The ESNI-NERM conference will be an opportunity to present and discuss scientific evidence and technological innovations that can support the European Commission’s goals on nutrient management.
The conference will take place on 28-29 April and they are calling for abstracts. Deadline: 30 January!
