The European Deposit Return Systems Association (EDRSA) for beverage packaging was founded in 2025.
The objective is to advance best practices, policy development and collaboration in the field of deposit return systems (DRS) in Europe.
EDRSA aims to foster innovation, efficiency and environmental responsibility in DRS programmes by bringing together key players from across the industry, including system operators, policymakers, recyclers and technology providers. The association will serve as a platform for sharing expertise, advocating for effective legislation and driving improvements in circular economy initiatives.
The members of the Association operate in 15 EU Member States plus Iceland and Norway.
This workshop will look at nutrient recycling from aquaculture sludge, nutrient optimisation in fish feed, valorisation of nutrients in seafood processing and aquaculture nutrient flows. It will contribute to the United Nations (UNEP) project uPcycle, leading to a UNEP white paper on phosphorus sustainability in aquaculture.
IFAT Munich is the world’s leading trade fair for environmental technologies. It offers cutting-edge solutions for water, recycling and circularity with a strong focus on innovations with a global impact.
The Motagua Circular Forum aims to be a catalyst for change in the Motagua River Basin, where circular economy, European investment and collaborative governance build bridges towards a sustainable future.
The forum will bring together local and Team Europe partners, including EU representatives, Member State organisations, financing institutions and the European private sector. It will create a platform for dialogue with the objective of generating partnerships and investment in circular economy infrastructure and value chains in the river basin.
Companies from the water and waste management sectors are invited to be part of this initiative and express their interest in participating in the forum to pitch their solutions in Guatemala.
The Plastics Recycling Show Europe covers the latest trends and developments in the sector, as well as reflecting on the most recent legislation, challenges and opportunities.
The conference brings together the entire value chain, and aims to promote collaboration and accelerate the transition towards a sustainable and truly circular plastics recycling industry.
The Automotive Circularity Platform (ACP) is a pilot open ecosystem linking collectors of end-of-life automotive materials with users of high-quality secondary materials. It enhances transparency, enables efficient material separation and supports open-market trading.
As a technical enabler for automotive end-of-life recycling, it will support the implementation of the End-of-Life Regulation and drives recycling, regulatory compliance and supply chain resilience.
The Center for Circular Economy in Coffee (C4CEC) is the first precompetitive platform for enhancing the circular economy in the coffee sector.
Coffee production generates substantial biomass at every stage. Instead of becoming waste, this biomass can be turned into valuable products using circular and regenerative agricultural practices. Every part of the coffee plant, from the cherry's skin to the spent grounds, contains unique compounds that are suitable for various industrial applications.
C4CEC aims to make know-how related to circularity in the coffee sector accessible to a diverse group of stakeholders. It will enhance the environmental, social, cultural and economic sustainability of the coffee value circle and offers customised member support for developing ideas.
Come and hear about the Circular Threads 2.0 study which takes stock of circularity in Northern Italy and seeks to apply circular economy principles to the textile industry there.
