The transition towards a circular bioeconomy is crucial for meeting the goals of the European Green Deal and the Circular Economy Action Plan and for tackling the climate and biodiversity crises. 

Following on from COP16 on Biological Diversity and on the same day that delegates will be discussing nature and biodiversity at COP29 on Climate Change in Azerbaijan, the ECESP Leadership Group on Circular Bioeconomy invites you to join the #EUCircularTalks on Circular Bioeconomy Transformation Methodologies.

 This webinar will take place on 21 November.

This online seminar on the role of urban, university and school Living Labs in promoting circularity is part of the From Niche to Centre - City Centres as Places of Circular Lifestyles (NiCE) project. 

The circular economy is increasingly coming to be recognised as necessary - but more needs to be done to get the general public on board. Living Labs can help here.

CEWEP, the Confederation of European Waste-to-Energy Plants, will be holding its international conference on residues from waste-to-energy on 25 September in Mechelen, Belgium. Residue experts from across Europe will tackle topics such as environmental contribution, residue utilisation and material recovery.

There will be ample opportunity for networking during the breaks and the buffet on the evening of 25 September. On 26 September, participants can visit Indaver’s ash treatment facility.

This JRC report emphasises the importance of standardisation in promoting circular construction and the circular economy

It discusses the need for future standardisation and pre-normative research for circular construction in terminology, metrology, performance characterisation, compatibility and operability assessments.

The report highlights the need for clear objectives, focused standards, cost-effectiveness, common future scenarios, resource indicators, and practical implementation aspects to advance circularity in the construction industry. The recommendations provided aim to guide future standardisation activities, aligning with circular principles to drive industry competitiveness and environmental stewardship.

Stakeholders in the food waste reduction network REGAL Normandie will celebrate their 10th anniversary with plenary sessions and workshops looking at what has already been done to cut food waste and exploring what can be done to push on with this vital initiative.
