Despite growing efforts by political bodies, companies and researchers to support the transition towards a more sustainable and circular economy, we are still behind schedule.
The seminar on 17 October will address the following challenges that are slowing down this transition:
the need for quantitative but easy-to-handle methods to support decision-making in the product design phase, particularly concerning material selection for sustainability,
the potential rebound effects that undercut the expected sustainability gains of moves towards circularity.
On 12 and 13 October, Mistra REES and its partners will chair a series of interactive workshops devoted to the industrial transition to a more circular and sustainable society. Listen to experts discussing developments in policies, standards and business models and contribute to the discussion!
As part of London Circular Economy Week, CLG Europe’s Materials and Products Taskforce will be hosting a webinar setting out EU circular economy policy.
This book collates leading-edge research and industry best practice to provide a ‘one-stop shop’ exploring the complex and interconnected issues surrounding sustainability in the sector.
It includes innovative examples from different regions, addressing topics from policies to supply chain issues and materials innovation. Five unique case studies of sustainable businesses provide examples of pioneering practice. The book brings together both academic and industry perspectives on the critical areas that require immediate action to move towards a more sustainable fashion, clothing and textile sector.
Part VI features five chapters by leading authors covering the circular economy in the sector, including a chapter by Professor Jacqueline Cramer.
The FOODRUS first policy roundtable on legal and economic barriers to food waste prevention and reduction will take place online on 11 October at 10:00 – 12:00 CET. During this interactive meeting, barriers identified by FOODRUS partners will be presented and explored with meeting participants.
The ECOSWEEE project has received EU funding under the LIFE programme. It aims to increase the collection rate of small WEEE and portable batteries.
The project recognises the importance of stakeholder engagement as a catalyst for change. It aims to create a collaborative platform on Linkedin where stakeholders can come together, share knowledge, and collectively work towards improving collection rates and promoting sustainable practices.
The project will harness the power of stakeholders' expertise and commitment to drive tangible impact and contribute to a more sustainable future.
