This conference will focus on future-proofing clean energy, end-of-life assets, circular energy markets, and advanced technologies and successful business models.
Join top asset owners, recyclers, manufacturers and investors at the second Recycling Renewables Summit and help shape the future of circular renewables.
While circular economy practices offer substantial environmental and economic benefits along with local job creation, their implementation requires significant adjustments in working conditions and practices.
This briefing dives into two of the circular building pathways identified as having high social impacts in the Circular Buildings Coalition’s 2024 Four Pathways Report: 1) Build with the Right Materials; and 2) Build Nothing.
These pathways are explored, along with their regulatory and market-level drivers, barriers and the measures needed to safeguard workers.
The Commission has launched a consultation on harmonising the classification of certain waste types (“green-listed” waste) to facilitate their shipments across borders. It's open until 31 October and aims to gather input from a range of stakeholders on waste streams to be addressed. Let them know what you think!
Characterisation techniques are essential in the plastics sector, as they ensure quality, reliability and safety, promote sustainability and minimise manufacturing risks. AIMPLAS will therefore host the second international seminar on plastics characterisation (CHARPLAST), bringing together international experts to address the main challenges and advances in this field.
The WEEE Forum aimed to formulate recommendations on potential future targets for WEEE collection and on the method for calculating the collection rate which would foster the circular economy.
This study accordingly conducted a comprehensive assessment of current WEEE collection rate calculation methodologies and proposes a new approach for setting WEEE collection targets in the EU. It took a multi-phase approach, including data collection, model development and sensitivity analysis. Interviews with experts and stakeholders were also carried out to validate assumptions and explore new target-setting approaches.
The study concludes that the WEEE generated method is preferable to the current POM (put on the market)-based collection target.
The circular economy's contribution to saving virgin raw materials is a widely recognised principle. Its contribution to climate neutrality is still underestimated.
This workshop will explore how tools and policies for boosting the market in and use of secondary materials can exploit the energy and environmental performance of secondary materials.
The ECESP Leadership Group on Textiles organised the #EUCircularTalks event on Circular textile policies: implementation, challenges and the role of the Circular Economy Act.
This webinar aimed to assess the state of play of circular textile policies in the EU, examining progress made, existing gaps and next steps.
This session will explore the impacts of the EU's “clean, competitive and circular” policies on communities, including indigenous peoples and young people, and consider how to foster intergenerational equity and participation, starting from the raw materials agenda.
FNADE will ask a highly relevant question: how can we make circularity an asset for competitiveness?
The congress will endeavour to identify levers for developing local production of materials and energy from the waste sector in France and Europe. It will also look at ways to reconcile regulatory simplification with the protection of the environment and human health.
This webinar will dive into the transformative potential of biowaste management as a driver for sustainable agriculture and the circular economy.
It will explore how different stakeholders and projects across Europe are looking at new ways to collect and make use of biowaste, transforming organic waste into valuable soil improvers and circular fertilisers.
