The EU is facing increasingly serious societal, environmental and climate challenges. EuRIC is uniquely placed to bridge circularity and climate neutrality. However, regulations and policies are hindering the sector's ability to tackle these societal challenges in partnership with the EU.
Join EuRIC in Brussels on 30 March for a high-level conference that will unite European policymakers and recycling experts from across the circular economy value chain.
Circular economy take-up by companies in the textiles and apparel sector has increased significantly in recent years, but we know relatively little about how current circular business models affect workers and communities.
In this session on 14 February, Utrecht University's Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development, Smart Green Industry and Conserve India will explore the outcomes of their most recent social impact study on the apparel value chain.
The concept of sufficiency is necessary to broaden horizons of circular economy and look beyond key concepts such as reuse and recycle, to facilitate lifestyles that involves not just consuming better but also consuming less.
The tExtended European project has come up with an innovative approach to recycling textile waste by developing a knowledge-based masterplan for optimised recycling of discarded textiles. The research combines recycling, waste-valorisation and data technologies to maximise the impact.
Twenty organisations from 10 countries have collaborated to create economically feasible and sustainable solutions for reducing waste in the textiles industry.
The ambition of the workshop is to present the role of network governance and circular diplomacy to embrace climate change and biodiversity.
System-level changes with long-term consistency are needed and therefore transformation of existing governance structures is unavoidable. Understanding of network governance, role of CE hubs and transition brokers as well as of circular diplomacy will be in the focus of the workshop. Discussion will be based on lessons learned on the ground, complemented with the presentation of initiatives focused on the identification of interventions needed to support systems change on national, regional and global level.
This workshop will explore the interconnections and interaction between bioeconomy and climate change. One of the focus will be systemic interconnection of bioeconomy systems from restoring ecosystems to creation of regenerative systems that feed the bioeconomy.
