THE LIFE BIOBEST project aims to guide the mainstreaming of best bio-waste management and recycling practices, with a view to enriching depleted soil with high quality compost.
Its Comprehensive Guidance sets out key policy recommendations to strengthen the EU legal framework for bio-waste management. Drawing from extensive research and stakeholder consultation, it outlines three interconnected areas for improvement: boosting effective models for separate collection and recycling, promoting reliable markets for compost and digestate, and enhancing monitoring and enforcement of bio-waste regulations.
It provides policy measures to help close the gap between current practices and potential capture rates, addressing the fact that only 26% of kitchen waste is collected separately in the EU.
This webinar will dive into the transformative potential of biowaste management as a driver for sustainable agriculture and the circular economy.
It will explore how different stakeholders and projects across Europe are looking at new ways to collect and make use of biowaste, transforming organic waste into valuable soil improvers and circular fertilisers.
The FIBSUN and Bio-LUSH projects are organising a webinar series called FibreFuture Talks – Visions for a Sustainable Bio-based Future. It will explore the opportunities, challenges and innovation potential of the bioeconomy across Europe, from the perspective of two collaborative and pioneering projects.
The second episode will focus on regenerative strategies and innovative solutions for sustainable biomass production and land recovery.
Circular Summit Fryslân 2025 will highlight the power of regions in shaping a circular future.
With keynote speeches, hands-on working sessions and inspiring field trips, this event will bring together circular changemakers with a view to fostering international cooperation.
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.
Deadline for exhibitor applications: 30 April 2025
What is the situation of bio-waste management across Europe, one year after the entry into force of the European sorting obligation? Has the mandate had the desired effects? What is the future scenario?
This EUCT aimed to assess the status of municipal bio-waste separate collection in Europe and discuss what needs to be done to initiate a real revolution in bio-waste management on the continent.
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.
The Global Summit on Environmental Science and Engineering will present the most recent developments in this field, with highly cited researchers, industrial leaders and exhibitors sharing their research. The sessions will cover topics such as waste-to-energy conversion, landfill management and waste management.
The “Greentech and Circular Economy Innovation” is looking for start-ups and SMEs that are developing innovative solutions for improving refinery waste management, remediating soil and water contamination and improving energy system efficiency.
