The workshop will bring together EU policymakers, researchers and construction stakeholders to explore how innovative materials, digital technologies and reuse strategies can together advance circularity in Europe’s built environment.
It aims to mirror the circular lifecycle of materials, from innovation and data acquisition to reuse and regeneration, and show how circular economy principles can be embedded into the construction sector.

This event will inform policy discussions taking place within several key European Parliament committees and shine a light on the multiple benefits of the bioeconomy for sustainability. It will look at the role and potential of the forest-based bioeconomy which offers renewable and circular solutions for packaging, hygiene, construction, energy and more.
On 7 November, the Commission granted over EUR 358 million to 132 new projects across Europe under the LIFE Programme for environment and climate action. Read about a few of the projects selected to promote the circular economy!
The University of Copenhagen and the Danish Ministry for Green Transition, on behalf of the European Commission, are hosting a conference which aims to advance the EU’s green transition through bioeconomy, food systems and biodiversity.
The event will explore how to boost and mainstream the bioeconomy through science, innovation and governance, using and reusing all parts of biomass.
Scaling up bio-based industries can strengthen the EU’s strategic autonomy and competitiveness, foster innovation and create growth and jobs.
The study focuses on three product classes within the bio-based industry that demonstrate significant potential for scaling up: (i) bio-based materials and chemicals, (ii) innovative food and feed ingredients and (iii) bio-based soil nutrients and enhancers.
Key recommendations include leveraging Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking flagship grant applications to build a pipeline of promising projects, expanding the European Circular Bioeconomy Fund model to enable high-risk investment in early-stage bio-based ventures, and creating an eligibility checker for bioeconomy and circular economy projects.
Tech4Biowaste (A DYNAMIC DATABASE OF RELEVANT TECHNOLOGIES OF BIO-WASTE UTILISATION) was an EU-funded project which created a database providing a comprehensive technology overview for the valorisation of bio-waste. Businesses can promote their technologies and stakeholders can search for the most appropriate technology for their particular feedstock.
The CityLoops project was a Horizon 2020 project which ran from 2019 to 2023. It focused on circular economy solutions for bio-waste and construction and demolition waste (CDW). The project produced various tools, including this assessment method.
