Design requirements prescribed in the international Quality Management System standard ISO 9001 can also be interpreted from a circularity perspective. Designers can use ISO 9001 for designing "circular" products and services.
This article provides a few interesting examples of circularity linking them with ISO 9001 design requirements.
Threading-CO2 project aims to scale-up and demonstrate its first-of-its-kind technology producing high-quality commercially viable sustainable PET textile products from CO2 waste streams.
The overall objective is to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of the textile industry, using a circular manufacturing approach and running on renewable energy sources.
ED is a digital label providing information about the product's packaging: its components, the materials it's made of, and how to dispose of them properly.
All you need to do is scan the QR code on the packaging to get real-time, geolocated and accurate information on how to dispose of it.
A new report by Zero Waste Europe demonstrates how Material Recovery and Biological Treatment (MRBT) systems are a cost-effective approach to treating (leftover) mixed waste.
The study Nothing left behind: modelling Material Recovery and Biological Treatment’s contribution to resource recovery and fighting climate change focuses on the technology that combines the use of advanced sorting systems applied to mixed waste (to extract additional material for recycling) with biological treatment of the remaining residual waste aimed at stabilising the waste before its being landfilled.
The event "Consumer electronics retail: Facilitating the green and digital transition", at Scotland House, Brussels, on 27 April 2023, will cover the key trends that are shaping the sector, including consumer empowerment and digital education. The discussion will focus on the Single Market and its current state and address the importance of the human touch.
Part of the FOODRUS project, this webinar on 25 April 2023 is the fourth in the Sustainable Food Systems Webinar Series which explores innovative solutions for surplus food loss and waste prevention.
The Commission has launched a four-week feedback period, open until 3 May 2023, on a new set of EU taxonomy criteria for economic activities making a substantial contribution to one or more of the following environmental objectives:
sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources
transition to a circular economy
pollution prevention and control, and
protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems.
