SUM 2025, the 8th Multidisciplinary Symposium on Circular Economy and Urban Mining, will take place on 21 to 23 May 2025 on the island of Procida.
The event aims to promote continuous interaction (discussion, collaboration, exchange of experiences, etc.) across disciplines, involving any science-based stakeholders or entities.
The Call for Papers is now open! Authors interested in presenting their work at SUM 2025 are invited to submit their papers on the 25 symposium topics, which range from energy and circular economy to contaminants from circular economy in the environment.
LIAISE is a research network set up by COST. To put it in words rather than acronyms, it’s a four-year research network focusing on Cooperation, development and cross-border transfer of Industrial Symbiosis among industry and stakeholders which was set up under European Cooperation in Science and Technology.
It's a five-day event dedicated to the circular economy and sustainable development, with a rich programme of sessions and the main event: European Sustainability Congress 2024. Some sessions are hybrid or online.
Chemical recycling is big and set to get bigger - after all, it helps overcome the limitations of traditional plastics recycling (and we have so much plastic to recycle...).
However, there are still problems and this event will address the challenges and opportunities facing the development of these emerging technologies and their integration into the supply chain.
Hailia’s patent-pending technology is transforming the seafood industry by upcycling fish sidestreams into high-quality, versatile food products. This technology can produce items with over 90% fish sidestream content - while being very tasty and suitable for a wide range of dishes.
Bio4HUMAN is a Horizon Europe-funded initiative working to solve solid waste management challenges in humanitarian settings.
This September, it will be holding a webinar on empowering the bio-based sector for solid waste management in humanitarian settings. The webinar will focus on the findings of their Humanitarian Needs Assessment Report and familiarise bio-based stakeholders with humanitarian settings and the challenges facing them in terms of solid waste management.
The GLOPACK project investigated food packaging with no environmental footprint and the ability to extend the shelf life of food products.
It focused on biodegradable and home compostable food packaging made from agro-food residues, bio-packaging and battery-free RIFD bio-sensors to track food freshness.
The Horizon Europe FISSAC project aimed to develop and demonstrate a new paradigm built on an innovative industrial symbiosis model. This model was intended to deliver a zero waste approach in the resource-intensive industries of the construction value chain.
The Green PLM® Conference 2024 will tackle Product Lifecycle Management.
It will explore IT solutions enabling manufacturers to establish an efficient data flow. This two-way flow will let them make their products' lifecycle as sustainable as possible - and then report on it, in accordance with EcoDesign and Circular Economy regulations.
