SISTERS is an EU H2020-funded project that aims to design, implement and promote innovations to address bottlenecks at each stage of the food value chain. The end goal is a systemic reduction in food loss & waste.
The GLOPACK project investigated food packaging with no environmental footprint and the ability to extend the shelf life of food products.
It focused on biodegradable and home compostable food packaging made from agro-food residues, bio-packaging and battery-free RIFD bio-sensors to track food freshness.
The Horizon Europe FISSAC project aimed to develop and demonstrate a new paradigm built on an innovative industrial symbiosis model. This model was intended to deliver a zero waste approach in the resource-intensive industries of the construction value chain.
The CircE Project (European regions toward Circular Economy) was an Interreg Europe project implemented during the 2014-2020 financing period. It aimed to reinforce the take-up of the circular economy in Europe.
This platform provides information and updates on two key projects:
CIRCWASTE ran from 2016 to 2023, and aimed to promote the efficient use of material flows, waste prevention and new waste and resource management concepts.
PlastLIFE is an ongoing project (2022 to December 2029), aiming to promote a sustainable circular economy for plastics.
The International Center for Resources and Innovation for Sustainable Development (CIRIDD in French) was set up in 2005. It aims to contribute to the emergence of new societal models which are more respectful of all living beings, future generations and the planet.
It promotes sustainable development, based on cooperation within organisations, regions and sectors, and its projects vary from local to international. It assists businesses, regions and industries as they shift to greener, more circular business models and strategies, helping them get to grips with the various impacts of their activities and promoting the product-as-a-service model.
The LOOP-Ports project ran from September 2018 to November 2020. It was coordinated by Fundación Valenciaport and funded by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) through the EIT Climate-KIC initiative. Its main goal was to facilitate the transition to a more circular economy in the port sector.
This report discusses the EU’s clean energy transition plans, highlighting how circular economy strategies and sustainable resource management can support strategic autonomy while being Paris-compatible.
It aims to inform stakeholders about the EU’s plans to safeguard its clean energy transition ambitions. Specifically, the report highlights how the uptake of circular economy strategies can contribute to the strategic autonomy agenda (with particular regard to CRMs) while being compatible with the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals. It also reflects on the EU’s overall material footprint in the context of global equities as the Union transitions to a climate-neutral and circular economy.
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.
