The Commission's public consultation on the forthcoming Circular Economy Act is still open. It will gather input from a wide range of stakeholders and the broader public on the bottlenecks and opportunities involved in rolling out a circular economy.
If you're active in the circular economy field, you must have views on this: this is your chance to tell the Commission!
Multilayer plastic materials pose a significant end-of-life challenge as it is difficult to recycle them.
This project found a solution using innovative technologies such as physicochemical delamination, a combination of mechanical separation techniques and enzymatic recycling.
Why aren't we more circular? How can we be more circular? This video shows you how to get ready for the EU's Circular Economy Act and just why switching to this economic model is so important.
The European Commission is seeking stakeholder input on how to make EU environmental laws faster, easier and cheaper to implement, thereby making life easier for EU businesses. Is this something you feel strongly about? Then tell them!
On 5 June, the Circular Cities and Regions Initiative (CCRI) and the European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform (ECESP) joined forces to host a stakeholder event in Brussels and online as part of EU Green Week 2025. Have a look at CCRI's report on what was said during this event!
Leveraging waste wood as a sustainable resource is central to meeting Europe’s rising demand for wood-based products without compromising forests, biodiversity and the climate through virgin wood harvesting. To advance the circular economy and transform waste wood valorisation to meet future demand, digital product passports (DPPs) are an important digital tool for improving waste wood flows.
This CEPS In-Depth Analysis explores the challenges and opportunities for advancing waste wood valorisation and the circular economy using DPPs. After consulting with experts, some of the challenges and opportunities identified include data availability, access and integration, harmonised DPP content, limited stakeholder capacity and the costs of implementing DPPs.
Join the FertiCovery workshop, where participants will explore promising technologies for producing biofertilisers from secondary raw materials.
This interactive session will bring together stakeholders to share experiences, validate key case studies and shape the future of bio-based fertilisers.
The Horizon Europe project INBUILT aims to bring about a shift in the European construction industry by integrating circular economy and digitalisation. It focuses on scaling up and demonstrating 10 innovative products and systems designed to make building practices more sustainable.
These innovations fall into two key categories: Reused and recycled materials which will reduce waste through the smart repurposing of materials from existing sources, and low-carbon building products developed using bio-based or geo-sourced materials to significantly lower the environmental impact of construction.
This booklet presents a series of factsheets outlining each innovation developed by INBUILT. They will be updated when the project comes to an end.
SOPHIA is an EU-funded Horizon Europe project that aims to implement advanced digital solutions in end-of-life solar panels, involving the full value chain in order to increase their current reuse, repair and recycling rates. The end goal is to foster a more circular, innovative and competitive Europe.
