TEXroad is a foundation set up to collect and manage data on textiles as efficiently and effectively as possible. The purpose of this collection is to promote and enable circularity in the textiles industry.
They have set up programmes on Paving the way to 2025 and Circular textile data flow, and published reports describing their activities.
CircEUlar is a four-year European Research and Innovation Action. It began work in September 2022 and seeks to understand the dynamics and levers for transforming society into a net-zero emissions circular economy.
The CircEUlar project team is now organising a workshop where stakeholders will be able to hear about their latest research and contribute to shaping the next phases of work.
On 14 June, as part of the activities of the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union, the Public Waste Agency of Flanders (OVAM) held a workshop on the future of the EU Waste Framework Directive.
The main findings of the workshop are set out in the event report, including key recommendations for the European Commission.
The Finnish Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Authority and the Finnish Commerce Federation invite you to learn about the roles and responsibilities of distance sellers in Finland.
The Mediterranean is facing rising challenges related to environmental degradation, biodiversity loss, pollution, overpopulation and water scarcity. These issues are exacerbated by heatwaves, droughts and coastal vulnerabilities. This means that there is a critical need for an immediate transition to a green, circular economy in the Euro-Mediterranean region.
This report looks at the state of play there, the challenges to be faced and the role of stakeholders. It is intended to help policymakers align decisions and strategies for sustainable economic development and to provide up-to-date information for funding agencies, businesses, researchers, academics and civil society organisations advocating for green and fair policies in the Mediterranean region.
The SYMBA project (Securing Local Supply Chains via the Development of New Methods to Assess the Circularity and Symbiosis of the Bio-based Industrial Ecosystem) will help deliver bio-based solutions with reduced environmental impacts on soil, water and air quality.
The project aims to achieve this by creating an innovative method of industrial symbiosis which can be replicated across the EU, geared to the local/regional bio-based industrial ecosystem. This method will be used to help design zero-waste value chains.
The Horizon Europe project Hubs4Circularity Community of Practice is organising a workshop to discuss and reflect on the various funding and financing approaches relevant to the industrial-urban symbiosis community.โฏ
On 17 and 18 June FOLOU and WASTELESS projects will be hosting a two-day webinar Current developments in food Loss & waste reduction. The aim of the webinar will be to unveil the current developments in food loss and waste reduction to pave the way for a sustainable future.
The FOODY EU project promotes entrepreneurial skills and employment of young people, using circular economy principles to combat unemployment. It provides comprehensive information on the management and environmental impacts of food waste, using the food industry and waste management sector to instill in young people the value of resource conservation.
One advantage of land-based aquaculture is that emissions can theoretically be contained and reused. However, the techniques for doing so keep evolving. If the Nordic aquaculture industry is to grow in an environmentally sustainable manner, information is needed on the best available techniques.
The Nordic Council of Ministers therefore requested a report on the best available techniques for reducing and reusing emissions from land-based aquaculture. This report explores the state of play of Nordic aquaculture and takes stock of emerging and established techniques for reducing emissions and managing waste, with a focus on the circular economy. Improving waste management might improve the viability of land-based aquaculture, supporting the sustainable growth of this sector.
