Looking for projects developed by students from universities and vocational training centres across Europe!
Projects must demonstrate innovation in business models, products, services or industrial processes under circular economy criteria, and have real potential to develop new business opportunities.
With a focus on the future Circular Economy Act and on optimising WEEE recovery, this high-level event will explore how innovation, policy and collaboration can accelerate a more circular electronics sector and support Europe's clean transition.
360° Foodservice is the collaborative platform dedicated to promoting the sustainable service of food and beverages across Europe.
It encompasses the whole supply chain of the foodservice packaging sector, from manufacturers to end-of-life solution providers. It unites companies that provide reuse and/or single use solutions for safely serving food and beverages to millions of Europeans every day, regardless of the materials that are used.
Collection and recycling must be in place for single use items once they have done their job. Reusable items must be collected and sanitised before being used again, and recycled when they reach the end of their useful life.
Members work towards promoting the sustainable evolution of single use and reuse systems for serving food and drinks in Europe.
The Circular Industry Coalition, led by Circul’R and CEA ISEC with the support of the French Ministry of Economy and Finance, brings together nine major industrial companies to address the growing systemic risks facing European industry.
After a year of collective work, the coalition has published a report highlighting the limits of the linear model and positioning a strong circular economy as a strategic lever for competitiveness, resilience and industrial sovereignty.
The report provides a shared assessment of industrial vulnerabilities and an operational roadmap to accelerate circular transformation at scale.
On 31 March, the EU Ecolabel, in conjunction with the ECESP, organised an EU Circular Talk on how the EU Ecolabel acts as a ready-to-use tool helping businesses deliver circularity, meet rising legislative expectations, and gain a competitive edge across EU markets.
This European Commission Staff Working Document covers the carbon-efficient design, material supply, construction and operation of buildings. It considers the supply and demand for materials, energy and built space.
Packaging uses large quantities of primary raw materials. Increasing quantities of packaging are generated in the EU while the levels of re-use, collection and recycling remain low.
See what the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation covers and aims to achieve.
Europe generates considerable post-consumer textile waste (around 25kg per person in 2025), but the system captures and qualifies only a fraction for recycling.
This report, prepared by the Boston Consulting Group, finds that:
A viable European textile-to-textile system requires major investment but is not deemed to be profitable.
Enabling mechanisms coordinating the chain and sharing risk are needed to bridge the economics gap.
Textile-to-textile recycled fibres are a new product category answering a planetary need for circularity, but with structurally higher prcessing costs. Under current conditions, they will not be cost-competitive with existing recycled routes.
This petition calls for a change to the current EU policy which allows imported plastic waste to count toward European recycling targets, creating a gap between reported progress and real circularity.
The European Sustainable Phosphorus Conference is the world’s leading sustainable phosphorus event. It takes place every two to three years and the sixth conference will be on 24-26 November.
