The Polish company Swapp! aims to encourage consumers to act sustainably by urging them to opt for reusable containers when they go shopping.

Chemical Recycling 2024 explores the ongoing developments, as well as highlighting challenges and opportunities for the industry. Bringing together experts from across the plastics supply chain, this event is an essential meeting place for anyone wishing to learn more, connect with industry leaders and discuss the latest updates in this fast-moving sector.

The Austrian circular economy strategy was developed and led by the Federal Ministry for Climate Protection, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology, together with many economic, scientific, administrative and civil society actors.

The transformation into a circular economy entails factoring resource flows into production, sales and consumption processes and thus massively reducing the use of materials (raw or otherwise), as well as the volume of waste and the strain on the environment.

Austria's circular economy strategy therefore aims to:

  • Spare resources
  • Achieve zero waste
  • Achieve zero pollution
  • Protect the environment.

This International Labour Organization (ILO) report examines environmental sustainability in the world of work.

It focuses on how climate change and environmental degradation will have an impact on labour markets by affecting the volume and quality of employment, and quantifies the shifts expected to take place within and between sectors. It also models employment shifts by region and sector under a circular economy scenario.

This series of webinars - each aimed at a specific target audience and hosted by BUILD UP - will highlight how different stakeholders could join forces to reskill and upskill the building sector workforce with circular skills by highlighting the main takeaways and outcomes of the EU-funded project BUS-GoCircular.
