How does Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) work in practice and what does it mean for grassroots recyclers and second-hand operators?
This session will bring together representatives of waste pickers' organisations and second-hand operators from South Africa, Chile and Europe to share their experiences with EPR policies.
What if the products around us at work could do more than just function? What if the chair you sit on, the floor beneath your feet, and the materials in your workspace could help create a healthier, more circular, feel-good environment?
Part 1 of the Day in the Life with C2C Certified® Changemakers webinar series will look at how better design and healthier materials can help create workplaces that are better for people, more practical for procurement and built for circularity.
This year, the World Circular Economy Forum (WCEF) will be held in South Asia – specifically in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India.
The theme will be Circular economy: Transition for people and prosperity, engaging communities and businesses all over the world to build a successful future together.
This year, the World Circular Economy Forum will be held in Gandhinagar, India, and the theme is Circular economy: Transition for people and prosperity.
The call for accelerator sessions is now open: apply by 23 June!
This event will explore how the circular economy drives EU strategic cooperation with Asia, Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and Ibero-America.
It will explore international partnerships, innovation opportunities and funding mechanisms that support sustainable development and circular economy initiatives.
The European Sustainable Phosphorus Conference is the world’s leading event dedicated to sustainable phosphorus.
It brings together policymakers, industry, researchers and practitioners to explore European policy developments, practical implementation of phosphorus sustainability and global trends shaping the phosphorus value chain.
The European textile and fashion sector is entering one of its most significant transformation periods in decades. Policy pressure, resource constraints, labour shortages and rising environmental expectations are converging to challenge long-standing business models, yet responses across the sector remain largely fragmented.
This report synthesises collective intelligence from the Future-Ready Textiles workshop series led by Climate-KIC in 2025, bringing together manufacturers, brands, researchers, NGOs and policymakers across Europe and beyond.
Three headline insights emerge: the challenges are systemic, not only technical; signals of change are accelerating; and transition-ready capabilities are the missing link.
This webinar will explore how verified product data is shaping design decisions, market access and product selection in a more regulated and increasingly digital economy.
This year’s CGR introduces a new tool: the Value Gap.
This represents the total avoidable value lost through inefficient material use (including energy and food), premature obsolescence and asset deterioration, and partially unpriced externalities. It is an absolute figure that can also be expressed relative to GDP (that is, as euros of avoidable value lost for every euro of value created), indicating how much value is lost for each unit of economic output generated.
Accounting for the Value Gap alongside GDP would provide a more realistic measure of net value creation by revealing how much economic value is structurally lost to linearity and highlighting the scale of opportunity for circular strategies to retain and recover that value.
This year’s Circularity Gap Report introduces a new tool: the Value Gap, highlighting the economic impacts associated with linear practices, such as avoidable waste and inefficient material use, and revealing a strategic opportunity to build resilience and create value.
