Petshka is an R&D company based in France. It has devised a process for turning polyester waste into recycled polyol polyester, thus avoiding a huge amount of waste and emissions and reducing reliance on fossil fuel-based raw materials.
Recycling flexible PET packaging is tricky because it is made up of layers but in Spain, recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) is the only type authorised for post-consumer recycled content for food packaging.
The BOTTLE4FLEX project has taken up this challenge and aims to develop 100% recyclable flexible skinpack packaging using rPET.
The built environment accounts for at least 40% of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. For the Alps, it is key to use local resources effectively while upholding EU rules and promoting the adoption of common standards across the building value chain.
The European Interreg Alpine Space project BAUHALPS is endeavouring to meet these challenges by developing and testing a model that combines New European Bauhaus concepts with sustainability measurements and indicators in an innovative way.
SISTERS is an EU H2020-funded project that aims to design, implement and promote innovations to address bottlenecks at each stage of the food value chain. The end goal is a systemic reduction in food loss & waste.
This platform provides information and updates on two key projects:
CIRCWASTE ran from 2016 to 2023, and aimed to promote the efficient use of material flows, waste prevention and new waste and resource management concepts.
PlastLIFE is an ongoing project (2022 to December 2029), aiming to promote a sustainable circular economy for plastics.
TEXroad is a foundation set up to collect and manage data on textiles as efficiently and effectively as possible. The purpose of this collection is to promote and enable circularity in the textiles industry.
They have set up programmes on Paving the way to 2025 and Circular textile data flow, and published reports describing their activities.
As a growing community of European frontrunner festivals, Green Deal Circular Festivals strives for fully circular and climate neutral festivals, as festivals can play a guiding role in inspiring a green movement and accelerate society’s transition.
The Czech company KOMA Modular s.r.o. is taking a new approach to construction: it manufactures modular buildings made up of individual prefabricated units. It's an effective method which avoids the whole material-intensive issue of construction and demolition.
Sensoneo provides smart waste management solutions that support the digital transformation of waste management to achieve efficiency, transparency, and sustainability.
The company is specialised in digitisation and streamlining of waste collection.
