The Access Economy Alliance promotes the sharing economy: the concept that you don't need to buy something if you're only going to use it a few times.
It aims to develop the network of sharing stations, self-service lockers where you can go to borrow everyday items, from DIY tools to sports equipment. It is also a forum where access economy practitioners can engage in strategic discussions, meet other organisations in the field, learn from experts and contribute to access economy innovations.
Public authorities, businesses and researchers come together to accelerate Europe’s transition to a circular economy through access-based services.
The Alliance is supported by the EU through the Digital Kiosks project which is piloting 22 new sharing stations across Europe.
The Circular Economy Show Podcast looks at the various aspects of the circular economy and the people driving it. There are over 200 episodes so far, covering a huge range of issues.
The REFRESH project is working on making wind energy more circular by developing more efficient ways to recycle and reuse wind turbine blades, which are made of hard to recycle composites.
See what the project is aiming to achieve and the progress it has made!
The seminar will bring together leading experts to explore the challenges and opportunities of sustainable bioplastics and biocomposites in the context of the circular economy.
The textile and apparel value chain is one of the most resource-intensive sectors, generating significant waste and relying heavily on a vulnerable workforce.
In recent years, businesses in this sector have adopted circular economy strategies to address sustainability challenges. However, most of these efforts focus on material efficiency and waste reduction, often neglecting social dimensions.
This PhD dissertation addresses this gap by exploring how to integrate social justice and equity into circular transitions at the business level. Through case studies in the Netherlands, Spain and India, it investigates how businesses can adopt circular practices inclusively and how policymakers can enable a more just circular transition.
