Join one of the new CCRI communities of practice to benefit from focused, in-depth exchanges with other circular frontrunners. Tap into ideas, tools and experience of others on the same path to create better solutions, faster.
Join the European Investment Bank's C3 team and circular economy experts for the first event of a new C3 Circular City Seminar Series targeted at city and region representatives.
The Zero Waste Action Weeks are all about waste prevention and resource conservation, covering upcycling, repairing, food rescue, circular economy, reuse, sustainable consumption and zero waste fashion.
Come and experience the hands-on sessions, lectures and workshops!
Approximately 400 million tonnes of plastic are produced globally each year.
If tender documents require recycled materials, encourage reuse or repurposing of plastic-containing products, and prevent the use of single-use plastics, then public procurement can play a pivotal role in curbing the plastic crisis.
This webinar will present examples of how contracting authorities can limit plastic waste and pollution through procurement decisions.
A coalition of European cities has published a policy brief calling on EU institutions to strengthen the enabling framework for local circular economy implementation. The Circular Cities Frontrunner Group, consisting of cities such as Amsterdam, Milan, Malmö, Copenhagen, Turku and Porto, has developed the brief as a shared contribution to the EU’s 2024-2029 political cycle.
The policy brief builds on a joint open letter addressed to Members of the European Parliament in late 2024 and outlines how cities can help scale the circular transition - if the right policy conditions are in place.
The brief contributes to ongoing discussions around the Circular Economy Act, the EU’s competitiveness agenda and the future of multilevel governance.
THE LIFE BIOBEST project aims to guide the mainstreaming of best bio-waste management and recycling practices, with a view to enriching depleted soil with high quality compost.
Its Comprehensive Guidance sets out key policy recommendations to strengthen the EU legal framework for bio-waste management. Drawing from extensive research and stakeholder consultation, it outlines three interconnected areas for improvement: boosting effective models for separate collection and recycling, promoting reliable markets for compost and digestate, and enhancing monitoring and enforcement of bio-waste regulations.
It provides policy measures to help close the gap between current practices and potential capture rates, addressing the fact that only 26% of kitchen waste is collected separately in the EU.
This online workshop will mark the official launch of the final version of the Self-Assessment Tool, a key component of the CCRI designed to support cities, regions and territorial clusters in monitoring circular activities.
This webinar will address the development of social innovation action plans and their deployment and application. Come and gain insights from experts, projects and cities leading systemic change through social innovation!
As part of the CCRI Twinning Programme, cities and regions will be matched with their peers that have a similar level of circular economy advancement and roughly the same focus area. Together, they will explore solutions, share experiences and learn from what worked and what was tricky for their partner.
