The transition towards the circular economy entails complex economic and social changes. Using a survey, the EDUCIRC project will provide policy recommendations on rural development, with particular emphasis on women and young people.

It will devise a new methodology for assessing the capacity of rural areas to deliver this transition and identify the main obstacles, strengths and problems, as well as possible solutions.

The FUSTARISE Project aims to find more sustainable ways to deal with lignocellulosic waste - plant waste from agriculture and forestry. Most of this waste currently ends up in landfills - this project uses solvent-free mechanochemical techniques to transform it into products such as capsules and adhesives.

On 22 February, Tondo will present the report on the Taranto Circolare project in a webinar.

Taranto Circolare has conducted an in-depth study of the level of circularity in the Taranto area. Tondo's team focused on material and energy flows in the macro-sectors of the province of Taranto in 2020, covering inputs, outputs, waste and emissions, and quantifying the region's level of circularity.

The GO-GRASS final event will be a chance to discuss the project's final results and the implications for grass-based businesses in a future bio-based economy. It will feature a session on circular business models and technologies developed by the project, two policy panels with high-level representatives from EU, national and local level stakeholders and an excursion to a grass-based paper production facility in the Netherlands.

Scope

Are you interested in how digitalisation can support the circular economy? With Digital Product Passports (DPP) coming into force in 2027, and gradually expanded to a wide scope of product groups, this event will contribute to your understanding of DPP deployment.

This CIRPASS final public event on 5 March 2024 will bring together European industries, policymakers, R&D centres, standardisation organisations, circular economy and sustainability actors and digital solution providers to learn more about the current state and possible future developments of the Digital Product Passport (DPP).

This workshop will present, highlight and discuss the state of play and future issues related to sustainability in the fashion, clothing and textiles sector. It will also launch the book on Accelerating Sustainability in Fashion, Clothing and Textiles, with presentations from the editors and contributors.

There will be roundtable discussions covering key topics highlighted in the book (such as the circular economy, innovation and new business models, design and materials) and networking opportunities.

In this podcast episode the Conference Board talks to the European Commission's Malgorzata Golebiewska about the EU Green Claims Directive and its goal of preventing greenwashing and rebuilding consumer trust. Listen to the new podcast!
