SYNCRETIX assists organisations with designing and implementing ESG transformation, circular economy solutions and resilience strategies.
Their approach integrates circular economy principles across the entire lifecycle of products, buildings and urban systems while strengthening climate resilience, resource efficiency and long-term sustainability.
Part of a policy series on accelerating the circular economy transition, this brief explores policies which aim to make circular systems the norm via design, focusing on three key systems: products, agricultural systems and cities. Together, they account for the vast majority of resource use, waste generation and environmental impact, and crucially, all three are shaped by policy-led design decisions.
The way these systems are designed matters. A focused mix of upstream policy instruments can reduce reliance on virgin resources, improve material circulation and deliver economic, environmental and social benefits.
The brief features six case studies from G20 countries and provides practical recommendations to help policymakers design and implement effective circular economy policies.
The Ellen MacArthur Foundation is organising a webinar to launch their latest policy brief: Design it right: Make circular systems the norm.
This session will explore key policy instruments, including product, agricultural and urban planning policies, and explore implementation across diverse country contexts, drawing from experiences from the food and plastics packaging systems.
The Ellen MacArthur Foundation is organising a webinar to launch their latest policy brief: Design it right: Make circular systems the norm.
The session will explore key policy instruments, including product, agricultural and urban planning policies, and explore what it takes to make upstream design-led policy work in practice.
This session will bring together CEOs, ministers, investors and academics to discuss how cities can balance rapid urbanisation, sustainability and livability while rethinking the way infrastructure is planned and financed.
Panels will explore the future of urban resilience, integrated infrastructure and adaptive city planning, addressing the critical question of how to create inclusive, sustainable and circular cities that can thrive within planetary boundaries.
This workshop will explore how sustainable urban development can unite environmental responsibility, economic resilience and social well-being, transforming cities into ecosystems that regenerate rather than deplete.
An international conference where representatives from cities, government agencies, international organisations, academic institutions and private companies come together to discuss how to deliver sustainable urban development that balances economic growth and a healthy urban environment.
This year's focus is on the circular economy and carbon neutrality. European municipalities and organisations will have the chance to participate in the development of a circular economy in Asia.
The Nordic Climate Forum for Construction 2025 will bring together Nordic construction authorities, policymakers and industry stakeholders to share insights and progress on the circular, green and digital transition in the building sector.
It will focus on improving Life Cycle Assessments and gaining knowledge about how to optimise the usage of existing buildings.
The European Commission is hosting a special webinar to show how the Level(s) common language framework for the sustainability performance of buildings supports early-stage qualitative assessments and reporting.
The session will dive deep into how Level(s) performance indicators help buildings professionals prioritise aspects of sustainability and align client and design team expectations from the concept stage of a building’s lifecycle.
