Join the Global Green Action Day initiative tackling plastic pollution through collaboration, innovation and action.
Held in support of UN World Environment Day on 5 June, this initiative has a twist: because this is a complex challenge, you can only participate if you have completed the online training, which includes lessons, expert panels, guest talks and webinars.
AIMPLAS has developed a device which demonstrates how the Digital Product Passport for plastic products will work. This tool provides essential information about the traceability, materials, recycling and carbon footprint of products.
Poly(L-Lactide) (PLA), a fully biobased aliphatic polyester, constitutes around 30% of global production of biobased and/or biodegradable plastics.
It has attracted significant attention in the last decade due to its exceptional properties, such as high tensile strength, biocompatibility, (bio)degradability in various media, easy recyclability and good melt-state processability by the conventional processes of the plastic/textile industry. PLA has a number of applications, such as packaging and controlled release matrices for fertilisers and pesticides.
This paper looks at how blending PLA with other polymers can improve its shortcomings.
In this webinar, EuRIC will present its EU Plastics Recyclers Roadmap, outlining key actions to foster a more innovative and competitive sector. Industry leaders will also share insights on overcoming challenges and advancing circularity in the plastics value chain.
Are you passionate about sustainability, innovation and tackling the challenges of plastic waste? The Symposium on Innovation in the Circularity of Plastic Materials is your opportunity to contribute to shaping the future of plastic materials.
The Journal on Circular Economy is an initiative by the International Council for Circular Economy (ICCE). The journal explores various dimensions of the circular economy, including policy frameworks that support sustainable practices, research initiatives that drive innovation, and collaborative efforts that foster knowledge sharing among stakeholders.
The January 2025 edition features an article by Freek van Eijk from Holland Circular Hotspot, one of the ECESP Coordination Group co-chairs. The article focuses on the Netherlands: embracing circular economy as a business opportunity and a necessity. It looks at the origin and future of circular economy developments there and what lessons might be learned for India.
SUM 2025 aims to promote more continuous interaction and collaboration across fields, encouraging sustained, multidisciplinary dialogue and strategic partnerships.
This publication contains the results of over 74 projects completed as part of the Circular Ecoinnovation Programme between 2017 and 2023. The programme, managed by Ihobe, the environmental management agency of the Basque Government’s Ministry for Economic Development, Sustainability and the Environment, drives ecodesign, circular economy demonstration and strategic ecoinnovation in Basque companies.
The market, commercial, economic, technical or environmental feasibility of each project has been graphically included in each datasheet.

Petshka is an R&D company based in France. It has devised a process for turning polyester waste into recycled polyol polyester, thus avoiding a huge amount of waste and emissions and reducing reliance on fossil fuel-based raw materials.
AIMPLAS, the Plastics Technology Centre, is hosting the second International Seminar on Biotechnology Applied to the Plastics Sector.
This event will bring together over 20 international experts in biotechnology and sustainability to explore innovative solutions that will enable the plastics sector to move towards a more sustainable future.
