Part of the FOODRUS project, this webinar on 25 April 2023 is the fourth in the Sustainable Food Systems Webinar Series which explores innovative solutions for surplus food loss and waste prevention.
The focus of this online event on 18 April is on what the Interreg NSR ProCirc project partners have learned and developed in circular procurement. The event will start with a plenary session in English and the participants will then dive into the results in three breakout sessions in different national languages:
From one circular pilot to circular economy on everybody’s lips
Setting goals & monitoring: how to measure impact
How to scale adoption through Joint Statements of Demand
Tyres are complex products essential to the mobility of millions of Europeans. Likewise, tyre recycling is essential to the sustainability of the entire tyre value chain, be it in terms of resource efficiency or climate neutrality. Yet, despite a landmark landfill ban in 2006, much needs to be done to improve the circularity of tyres. To give an order of magnitude, today, for one tyre that is recycled, one tyre gets incinerated for energy recovery, and the worse in terms of end-markets opportunities is yet to come.
The EuRIC conference on tyre recycling takes place in Brussels on 18 April 2023.
This webinar on 11 April follows the European Commission’s proposal for the European Critical Raw Materials Regulation on 16 March 2023. It aims to explore some of the opportunities and challenges linked to the EU’s new strategy for securing the supply of CRMs, both inside and outside the EU.
The regulation will have implications for the EU’s own internal environmental and circular economy-related objectives, as well as external impacts through shifts in demand for CRMs and trade flows. This event will identify focus areas for policymakers and the international community to ensure that the objectives of the regulation can be achieved by accelerating the shift to a global circular economy without hindering global sustainable development goals.
The 70th session of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) will take place in April 2023 in Geneva. The Commission, UNECE's highest decision-making body, will take stock of its work to promote a circular economy and the sustainable use of natural resources.
Various virtual side events on 3-5 April will look at specific aspects of the circular economy transition, including the role of policies and institutions, innovation and private sector engagement, value chains, digital solutions and networks.
Interested in circular plastics? Join the interactive webinar "A Circular Economy for Plastics in Canada & the Netherlands" on 5 April to learn more about current policy approaches, best practices, latest technologies and market opportunities in the Netherlands and Canada.
REPLACE - REgional PoLicy Actions for Circular Economy - is holding its final conference in Rome on 5 April 2023. On this occasion eight European Regions will showcase the results and the impact generated by this interregional cooperation project centred on environment and resource efficiency.
The City of Roubaix's Circular Economy Unit is hosting the Roubaix Circular Economy Forum on 30 and 31 March 2023. This event aims to bring people together (everyone from members of the public to CEOs and European partners) to explore and raise awareness about the circular economy.
The EU is facing increasingly serious societal, environmental and climate challenges. EuRIC is uniquely placed to bridge circularity and climate neutrality. However, regulations and policies are hindering the sector's ability to tackle these societal challenges in partnership with the EU.
Join EuRIC in Brussels on 30 March for a high-level conference that will unite European policymakers and recycling experts from across the circular economy value chain.
