The sustainability certification TCO Certified has been driving social and environmental sustainability in the IT industry for over 30 years. Every third year, the certification criteria are updated to push sustainability where it matters most. 

They are organising an event where they will discuss the steps needed to drive sustainability in four key areas (climate, substances, circularity and supply chain) and present their new Roadmap for Sustainable IT.

Up2Circ (Boosting the uptake of circular business model, product and process innovation) is an international project funded by the Horizon Europe programme which aims to accelerate and scale up the transition of European SMEs towards a circular economy.

Resources without identity become waste, and this issue must be tackled in order to foster the circular economy. This webinar will discuss methods for assigning appropriate information to goods, tracking them and then processing and transfering this data efficiently, using state-of-the-art technologies such as AI, visual tracking systems, the Internet of Things and common communication languages.

INN-PRESSME is a consortium of 27 partners from nine countries helping European SMEs and companies develop bio-based solutions in the packaging, energy, transport and consumer goods sectors.

The project will shortly be holding its final event, bringing together investors, industry, policy makers, clusters, universities and research centres. It will be an opportunity to discuss the project results, technologies, market services and lessons learned, focusing on the innovative test cases.

The International Conference - Strategies toward Green Deal Implementation: Water, Raw Materials & Energy in Green Transition will be taking place for the fifth time this year. It will explore climate change and ways to prevent it.

Scientists and entrepreneurs active in the fields of water, raw materials or energy are invited to submit papers on studies covering environmental management, environmental protection and environmental engineering, with a focus on water, raw materials or energy.

This second webinar in the Circular Economy Knowledge Hubs Webinar Series will showcase regional and global perspectives on implementing circular economy activities, with a focus on how knowledge platforms can drive awareness, build capacity and inspire action among policy makers, producers and consumers.

Over the last 3 and a half years, the CIRCULAR FoodPack consortium has worked on circular design for flexible packaging. It has demonstrated the various steps required to obtain post-consumer recyclates and shown how to integrate them into new packaging which meets the high standards for food protection and safety.

Attend their final event and see what they learned!

CIRCULÉIRE, Ireland's National Platform for Circular Innovation, will be holding its annual conference under the banner The Future of Business is Circular. 

The conference will focus on Pathways to 2030 decarbonisation, Building future markets and Showcasing industrial circularity. It will bring together leaders in climate innovation, policy and government to discuss circular advancement in Ireland.

Multilayer packaging, often based on PET and polyolefins, presents significant challenges for recycling due to its complex structure. The EU Horizon project MERLIN has focused on developing cost-efficient and high-performance solutions for sorting, delaminating and recycling multilayer packaging materials.

As the project draws to an end, policymakers, waste management professionals, packaging manufacturers or researchers involved in plastic recycling and circular economy initiatives are invited to take stock of the project's findings.

The webinar will delve into strategies for launching and managing an investment fund dedicated to circular economy initiatives, focusing on insights from InvestCEC, Venionaire and exelixis capital AG. It will explore the financial barriers within the circular economy and strategies to overcome them.

Emma Pipó Ollé from the BioBoost project will also share key project insights on how they accelerate circular economy initiatives in Catalunya.

Stakeholders in the food waste reduction network REGAL Normandie will celebrate their 10th anniversary with plenary sessions and workshops looking at what has already been done to cut food waste and exploring what can be done to push on with this vital initiative.
