This conference offers a space for knowledge transfer and strategic exchange on circular economy in the field of public procurement. At the same time, it provides insights into European best practices and promotes dialogue on innovative approaches and synergies for successful implementation.
Join the European launch of 'A Prescription for Change: Rethinking plastics use in healthcare to reduce waste, greenhouse gas emissions and costs', a new report from Systemiq and Eunomia.
It will explore how the healthcare sector can dramatically reduce plastic waste, carbon emissions and costs.
Have your say and help CISUTAC shape a document aiming to bring real positive change in the area of public procurement and circular textiles. Take part in the surveys, open until 30 September.
Join the European Investment Bank's C3 team and circular economy experts for the first event of a new C3 Circular City Seminar Series targeted at city and region representatives.
The InvestCEC project was tested in the city of Klagenfurt, Austria. At this final event, it will showcase its experience and main achievements in developing a replicable model to initiate circular economy projects in regions and cities.
Approximately 400 million tonnes of plastic are produced globally each year.
If tender documents require recycled materials, encourage reuse or repurposing of plastic-containing products, and prevent the use of single-use plastics, then public procurement can play a pivotal role in curbing the plastic crisis.
This webinar will present examples of how contracting authorities can limit plastic waste and pollution through procurement decisions.
A coalition of European cities has published a policy brief calling on EU institutions to strengthen the enabling framework for local circular economy implementation. The Circular Cities Frontrunner Group, consisting of cities such as Amsterdam, Milan, Malmö, Copenhagen, Turku and Porto, has developed the brief as a shared contribution to the EU’s 2024-2029 political cycle.
The policy brief builds on a joint open letter addressed to Members of the European Parliament in late 2024 and outlines how cities can help scale the circular transition - if the right policy conditions are in place.
The brief contributes to ongoing discussions around the Circular Economy Act, the EU’s competitiveness agenda and the future of multilevel governance.
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.
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.
