GIND is an innovative company dedicated to developing sustainable and long-lasting solutions for road surfaces and outdoor spaces. Its BIO DILE™ joint filler replaces traditional, resource-intensive and short-lived materials with more environmentally-friendly alternatives made from recycled, sun-dried stone aggregates and bio-based binders derived from cashew nut shells and natural asphalt. At the end of the filler's lifecycle, it can be fully recycled.
The World Circular Economy Forum 2025 (WCEF2025) will take place in South America. It will explore the potential of tropical solutions for sustainable growth, the power of regeneration and bioeconomy strategies, along with how the production sector is driving the transition toward a circular economy. The forum will also address key topics relevant to Latin America and the world.
Accelerator sessions will be held by WCEF collaborators on 15 and 16 May.

This analysis report was prepared in connection with the EU-funded Wood2Wood project and explores opportunities to advance the circular economy and overcome challenges to waste wood utilisation through supportive policy.
It outlines recommendations and policy options for improving waste wood utilisation through harmonised multi-criteria waste wood classification, refined and extended targets and obligations, enabling policy and policy which fundamentally reflects the lifecycle perspective. These recommendations and policy options serve as a point of departure to help shape the regulatory environment in support of improved waste wood valorisation.
INN-PRESSME helps European SMEs and companies develop bio-based solutions in the packaging, energy, transport and consumer goods sectors. They are organising a webinar to provide information about their services, test cases, new opportunities to test-before-investment, and network with industry players. The webinar will focus on transport and consumer goods.
The webinar will delve into strategies for launching and managing an investment fund dedicated to circular economy initiatives, focusing on insights from InvestCEC, Venionaire and exelixis capital AG. It will explore the financial barriers within the circular economy and strategies to overcome them.
Emma Pipó Ollé from the BioBoost project will also share key project insights on how they accelerate circular economy initiatives in Catalunya.
circulareconomy.earth is a project set up by Chatham House's Environment and Society Programme. It enables users to explore the policy and trade dynamics associated with transitioning from a linear to a circular economy model, as well as providing analyses of the associated opportunities and trade-offs.
This COP16 side event, organised by the ECESP's Leadership Group on Biodiversity & Climate, will explore the opportunities and anticipated benefits of using the circular economy as a tool for mainstreaming biodiversity in economic sectors.
