La transition vers une économie plus circulaire ne peut se faire sans un changement de perception de la valeur économique des déchets. Considéré non plus comme une contrainte et une charge de fonctionnement pour l’entreprise mais comme une source génératrice de valeur, le déchet peut se voir attribuer une valeur économique positive.
La technologie blockchain peut être utilisée pour accélérer ce changement de valorisation, favoriser la réutilisation et le recyclage des déchets, en renforçant la traçabilité sur toute la chaine de valeur. L’attribution d’une identité numérique unique aux déchets et aux ressources naturelles, garantir la provenance de l'énergie, ou encore fiabiliser la comptabilité carbone sont autant d’éléments permettant de favoriser la transition vers une circularité de notre économie.
Le 13 décembre, la Fédération française des professionnels de la blockchain vous invite à découvrir un rapport mettant en lumière les opportunités offertes aux acteurs de l'économie circulaire par la technologie Blockchain, encore trop sous-estimées à ce jour.
This discussion on 12 December 2022 will explore how the circular economy can be an essential tool in helping us achieve our biodiversity and climate goals.
This EU Circular Talk on 8 December will focus on the role of network governance; building a coalition of partners willing to contribute to transformational changes will promote the implementation of circular economy roadmaps at national and local levels. One of the main objectives of the session is to present and discuss the role of transition brokers in accelerating circular initiatives.
These intermediaries (also hub leaders) coordinate the circular transition with different actors (such as industry, local governments, research and educational institutes and civil society). Transition brokers can fulfil various functions in setting up network governance, from helping build circular initiatives to upscaling them by linking successful local case studies to national policy and agenda setting.
This event is an Accelerator Session at the World Circular Economy Forum 2022.

The WEEE Forum, the world’s biggest association of e-waste producer responsibility organisations that manage the collection and treatment of electrical and electronic waste, is turning 20 this year. 2022 is also the 20th anniversary of the world’s first supranational Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) legislation on electrical and electronic waste: EU Directive 2002/96/EC.
The EPR Grand Challenge conference to take place in Brussels on 7 December will celebrate these achievements, reflect on the past and ponder the future. What lessons have we learnt over the past two decades? How can we improve the design of EPR legislation? How can legislation set us on a sustainable course and make the economy more circular, more resilient and more self-reliant? How can we collectively address the worldwide societal challenge of e-waste?
A new World Bank report titled "Squaring the Circle: Policies from Europe’s Circular Economy Transition” reviews Europe’s experience in spearheading CE policy. It identifies key features in the EU policy landscape that have successfully driven the circular transition, existing barriers to future progress, and critical measures to overcome them. Despite the progress achieved, squaring the circle of the transition and breaking away from linear systems will require a far-reaching suite of CE policies.
Join the event, co-organised by the World Bank and CEPS, on 6 December 2022 from 11:30 - 13:00 CET to discuss the existing key constraints and the policy domains where ambitious action will be needed in the coming years to further boost the CE agenda both within and beyond the EU borders.
Taking place on Monday 5 December 2022 at 15:00 - 17:00 CET, this online workshop organised by the FOODRUS project will focus on how to monitor and report food loss and waste.
A webinar on 1 December to learn how the Level(s) tools can help implement core indicators to assess and report on the sustainability performance of buildings.
