This conference will look at how to use data to drive the circular economy. More specifically, it will explore how to acquire data and how to analyse it once you've got it, with input from France and Québec.
This is a key event on waste management. 400 or so papers will be presented on issues such as waste policy and legislation and construction & demolition waste from disaster waste during various types of sessions, from Q&A sessions to practical design labs. Come and see what's being done in this field!
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.
Germany's National Circular Economy Strategy adopts a strategic vision focused on reducing the consumption of primary raw materials. This approach is guided by the proposal from the International Resource Panel, under the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), which sets a global target of 6-8 tonnes of raw material consumption per capita per year by 2050.
The strategy considers every stage of the cycle: product design, material selection, production, maximising the use phase and, finally, reuse and recycling. It aims to prevent waste from being created in the first place. This can be achieved through smart product design, efficient manufacturing, extended product lifespans, easier repairability and maximising the recycling of all materials.
The event will explore how innovative circular solutions contribute to growers' efficient operations, ensuring sustainable food production in Europe.
With a focus on sustainable practices and technological advancements, it will bring together food industry experts, researchers, policymakers and farmers to exchange knowledge, share best practices and foster collaboration within horticulture across all Member States.
CircularPSP (Public Service Platforms for Circular, Innovative and Resilient Municipalities through PCP) brings together eight leading circular economy cities, representing 45 million people. Its focus is pre-commercial procurement.
It is organising a Green Week Partner Event to present its AI tool for public procurement.
Companies can use IMERO's food compliance label service to ensure that their products are labelled properly. This means that consumers know what to do with recyclable packaging and recyclers know how to deal with it. The end result, of course, is less waste.
PSLifestyle is a free app that empowers individuals to better understand their environmental impact and supports them in adopting more sustainable and circular lifestyles. By providing personalized insights into users’ carbon footprints, it encourages changes in everyday consumption patterns that align with the principles of the circular economy.
On 21-22 May, Tondo will host Re-think Circular Economy Forum Milan 2025: two days of seminars, round tables and networking occasions on the circular economy.
