The ECESP website has a good selection of circular bioeconomy-themed content. We'll be shining a spotlight on some of it here!
This item looks at a technology which converts agricultural and food industry by-products into fertilisers, green energy and water purification materials.
This report addresses the question of whether Flanders, with its limited space, will be able to produce enough biomass in the future to supply the bioeconomy and continue to feed the increasing population.
Four scenarios were used, providing insight into the demand development for biobased raw materials for feed, food, fuel and fibre.
It found that:
An open economy, with international imports/exports of bio-based raw materials, is crucial for a small, densely populated and prosperous region like Flanders.
Long-term collaboration with other regions and countries is a strategic necessity. The energy transition, protein shift and circular transition must be streamlined to run synergistically. This can reduce the pressure on raw bio-materials.
The Product Circularity Data Sheet (PCDS), now recognised as ISO 59040, provides a structured, machine-readable framework that enables manufacturers, suppliers and customers to exchange consistent and verifiable circularity data across value chains.
This webinar will explore the forthcoming Digital Product Passport (DPP) requirements and their potential impact on the fashion and textile industry, with a particular focus on small and medium-sized enterprises in the EU.
Sustainable Innovation 2025 will review the evolution and trends related to sustainability, products, services and business models over the last 25 years and look forward to 2050.
It will explore how product design and development has adapted to global challenges like climate change, resource scarcity and shifting consumer expectations by adopting circular economy principles, eco-design and low carbon innovation.
The International Plastics Recycling Seminar, PLASREC, is a benchmark event for professionals in the recycling industry. It will feature over 20 presentations by internationally renowned experts who will address the key challenges, technological advances and regulatory frameworks shaping the plastics recycling sector.
