Interested in circular plastics? Join the interactive webinar "A Circular Economy for Plastics in Canada & the Netherlands" on 5 April to learn more about current policy approaches, best practices, latest technologies and market opportunities in the Netherlands and Canada.
FEDARENE’s Vice-President for Circular Economy, John Carley is pleased to invite you to the webinar on Making the Circular Economy Work which aims to guide local and regional authorities as they devise their circular economy strategies.
The objective of the event "Enhancing the circularity in the Construction Sector" on 26 April 2023 is to
Present the EU's Circular Economy Action Plan and the latest legislative developments to make the construction sector greener (including the revised EU Construction Products Regulation)
Present the METABUILDING platform: fostering new cross-sectoral, cross-border industrial value chains
Showcase successful collaborative projects and METABUILDING winners on the building & recycling sector
Discuss the circularity and recycling challenge for the construction sector: state of play and future prospects.
The REEPRODUCE project will break new ground by establishing a sustainable and complete European industrial-scale value chain for recycling the rare earth elements in permanent magnets. REEPRODUCE will capitalise on the knowledge generated by previous R&D projects (REE4EU) and tackle all the remaining technical challenges along the value chain. This innovative technique will produce new permanent magnets using environmentally-friendly technologies at a competitive cost and using end-of-life products as a resource.
Did you know that 36% of the total waste generation in the EU comes from construction waste? In order to fully reap the benefits of circular economy a targeted survey has been created online for a study on measuring the application of circular approaches in the construction industry ecosystem for the European Commission.
The final conference of the Ecoval Sudoe project (Coordination strategies for sludge and organic waste management and valorization in the SUDOE region) will take place in Ourense on 9 March 2023, where the main results of the project, started in November 2020, will be presented.
The 2022 Circular Cities Declaration Report is a very important milestone. Not only is it the first progress report for the European Circular Cities Declaration, it also features statements from 40 signatory cities. This makes it the broadest ever assessment of circular economy practices across European cities.
The report shows that considerable progress is being made: half of the 40 cities involved in the programme already have circular economy strategies in place or in development.
This is just the start. By the end of 2025, the aim is to have 150 cities signed up to this Declaration. Together, the signatories are embedding circularity into European cities!
Cities are hubs of humanity, often fuelling a country’s economic growth and innovation. However, they are also resource and energy hungry. As a result, cities are critical when it comes to helping societies shift to a circular economy.
