Circular economy take-up by companies in the textiles and apparel sector has increased significantly in recent years, but we know relatively little about how current circular business models affect workers and communities.
In this session on 14 February, Utrecht University's Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development, Smart Green Industry and Conserve India will explore the outcomes of their most recent social impact study on the apparel value chain.
During a hybrid seminar organised by Foodvalley NL on 14 February 2023, questions concerning, for example, the consumer's perceptions and expectations on upcycled food will be tackled and the potential impact of circular food concepts by creating an optimal outreach to the market and the consumer will be explored with the help of experts of the Upcycled Food Association (UFA) and Innova Market Insights, and several partners of the Upcycling Community.
Join the House of the Dutch Provinces (HNP) on 9 February 2023 (16:00 – 17:30 CET) in Brussels for the Plastic Panel Discussion. Plastics are a wonderful product if designed, produced and used more intelligently. How to ensure their sustainable and circular use?
Together with the panelists, regional political representatives, MEPs, the European Commission, stakeholders and businesses, the HNP will discuss the future of plastics and use the afternoon of 9 February to provide input on the latest EU proposals and the HNP Position Paper.
To discuss the relevant plans, ambitions and remaining challenges on circular plastics at the EU, national and regional levels, this panel discussion is being organised bringing together key stakeholders for circular change.
Which solutions or best practices on circular plastics already exist in our regions?
Are we on the right track to achieving the European Commission’s objectives to reach circularity and climate neutrality?
What obstacles need to be overcome in order to create an EU level playing field?
And how do these proposals affect our regional chemical clusters?
How does the proposed EU Textile Strategy and related legislative proposals, such as the ESPR, address circular business models? What policy tools and mechanisms should be explored and developed on the road to 2030 to accelerate the update of circular business models in apparel and textiles?
These and other questions will be tackled in the webinar on 8 February at 14:00 CET, during which the European Commission and the European Parliament will explain the implications of Europe’s textile policies for circular business models, and representatives from the apparel industry, NGO and academic voices will express how they perceive the impact of the latest policy proposals and whether more needs to be done to incentivise reuse and repair of textile products in the EU.
