This conference will showcase global good practices in resource and waste management.
It will highlight the critical role of effective systems in protecting health, the environment and economies, promoting circular economy principles and strengthening international collaboration to help move the world beyond waste.
This webinar will explore how Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) can be both a rigorous environmental tool and a strategic asset for the product development of buildings and for supporting innovation, market readiness and commercialisation.
Industry experts will share practical insights on integrating LCA into sustainable product development, with a focus on the emerging and highly innovative products developed by the INBUILT project.
This conference will focus on the European policies, technologies and business models that are reshaping circularity, from the Circular Economy Act and textile legislation to the Digital Product Passport and artificial intelligence.
This CORDIS Results Pack shows how the EU is funding research and innovation to create a sustainable, climate-neutral and circular textile sector.
It showcases nine Horizon research projects focused on optimising resource use and minimising waste across the entire textile production and consumption cycle.
FUELGAE is an EU-funded project working on converting CO₂ emissions into sustainable advanced biofuels for air and sea transport and heavy vehicles that are difficult to electrify. Microalgae absorb the emissions and are then turned into biofuels.
Climate change, inconsistent policies, greenwashing concerns and the promise of AI-powered sorting systems are reshaping how the wood sector must adapt.
The Wood2Wood project is addressing a structural blind spot in circular economy transitions: the future occupations needed to make wood reuse viable at scale.
The European Commission is looking for input on the role and functioning of the Treaty-based Horizon Europe European Partnerships and Joint Undertakings.

The SUSTRACK Toolkit was developed under the Horizon Europe project SUSTRACK.
It provides practical tools, policy briefs, case studies and guidance to help policymakers, businesses and researchers accelerate the transition to a circular and sustainable bio-based economy.
The circular economy is increasingly recognised as a pathway to long-term economic resilience and prosperity.
However, its application to date has focused primarily on finite, technical materials, overlooking bio-based materials. This gap limits the ability of the circular economy to deliver system-wide impact.
This paper intends to shed new light on the application of the circular economy framework to bio-based materials.
It finds that better alignment of policy agendas on circular economy and bio-based materials could deliver wide-ranging socioeconomic and environmental benefits. Many countries could see this as a key opportunity in the development of bio-based sectors within global value chains. It could also help to distribute value more fairly across all actors involved.
