SUMMARY:Workshop | The role of cities and regions in supporting industrial-urban symbiosis: learning from on the-ground experiences
DESCRIPTION:WHEN: 15 May 2025\, 10:00 – 13:30 CET \nWHERE: Online (Zoom) | REGISTER HERE \n\nThe Hubs4Circularity Community of Practice invites you to an online knowledge exchange (sensemaking) workshop to reflect on the role of local and regional public authorities for supporting industrial-urban symbiosis uptake.   \nLocal and regional public authorities can significantly encourage and support local industrial-urban symbiosis uptake. Acknowledged as ‘enablers’\, they have various tools and instruments at their disposal. However\, there is still a lack of clarity on how these can be best employed and how the role of public authorities can be leveraged effectively.   \nThis “sensemaking” workshop provides an interactive space where participants can discuss the variety of roles and instruments cities and regions can assume\, while  sharing their challenges\, experiences\, learnings and insights in enhancing local industrial symbiosis activities.   \nThe basis for discussion will be concrete case studies by public authorities and local businesses\, presented at the start of the workshop.   \nSensemaking is a flagship Climate KIC practice\, used as part of Climate KIC’s systems innovation methodology. \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER\n  \nAgenda (all times CET) \n10:00 – 10:15 | Welcome remarks and introduction to the Hubs4Circularity Community of Practice  \n10:15 – 10:25 | Check-in and participant introduction  \n10:25 – 10:35 | Introduction to workshop methodology  \n10:35 – 11:50 | Storytelling session  \nDiverse experiences on supporting industrial-urban symbiosis uptake will be shared by public authorities and business:  \n\nJohn Wante\, Policy Advisor for Circular Economy\, OVAM (Belgium)\nChristina Zoric Persson\, Community Strategist\, City of Helsingborg Executive Office (Sweden)\nPalle Skyum\, Senior Consultant in R&D\, Port of Aalborg (Denmark)\nEstelle Giacomi\, COO and Circular Economy Facilitator\, RedEco EC (Spain)\n\n11:50 – 12:00 | Break  \n12:00 – 12:40 | Breakout sessions  \nReflections from listening to the stories\, zoom out to identify clusters\, themes and similarities related to the role of public authorities in supporting industrial-urban symbiosis. Participants will be able to reflect and learn with and from each other.  \n12:40 – 13:20 | Synthesis and next steps  \nBased on the information exchanged\, participants will be able to conclude on the role(s) public authorities can play to successfully support industrial-urban symbiosis uptake.     \n13:20 – 13:30 | Check-out and conclusions  \n

SUMMARY:Italy's National Conference on the Circular Economy 2025
DESCRIPTION:Italy’s seventh National Circular Economy Conference will focus on Circularity to Boost Made in Italy. \nIt will look at how strengthening circular practices can help revive the Made in Italy brand and enhance the competitiveness of key industrial sectors. This is particularly relevant given the ongoing decline in national industrial output which has been exacerbated by recent global instability and trade barriers. The conference will also review the implementation of the Green Deal and recent policy developments at both EU and national levels. \nThe 2025 Circular Economy Report\, developed with ENEA\, will be unveiled during the conference. It will provide an up-to-date analysis of Italy’s circular economy performance\, including comparisons with other EU countries\, with special insights into the role of biotechnology and the issue of critical raw materials. \nThe programme is divided into two sessions: \n\nMorning: Presentation of the report and discussions on how circularity can drive the renewal of the Made in Italy brand. Topics will include the impact of biotechnology and current trends in sustainable consumption.\nAfternoon: Case studies and insights from companies\, organisations and consortia illustrating how circular economy strategies are fostering innovation and competitiveness across supply chains.\n\nThe conference will be organised by the Circular Economy Network in collaboration with ENEA and under the auspices of the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security and the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy. It will take place on 15 May at the National Central Library in Rome (Viale Castro Pretorio 105) and it will be in Italian only. There will be web streaming option for those who can’t attend in-person. \nProgramme and registration.

SUMMARY:BASQUE CIRCULAR SUMMIT 2025 “TIME FOR ACTION”
DESCRIPTION:Five years have passed since the approval of the “European Green Deal”\, the economic growth and development strategy that was launched in 2020 and which is a strategic commitment to shifting towards a new circular economy model in Europe. \nDuring these last 5 years\, Europe has laid the foundations needed to change the economic model\, thanks to its driving new political initiatives (directives\, regulations\, legislations\, market instruments …). They range from transforming the main activity sectors to empowering consumers to be the key players on a new sustainable product market. \nFurthermore\, the transformation will be accompanied by a shift in focus by the financial sector; it is going to discriminate in favour of investments in sustainable assets\, which will mark the start of a new corporate transparency stage as regards sustainability reporting. \nThe aim is to address current environmental challenges – climate change\, depletion of resources and loss of biodiversity – and to make way for a new economic model where competitiveness and sustainability go hand in hand. \nThe foundations for the change have been laid; the challenges\, time lines and actions needed in our economies are now clear.  Start a new stage.  It’s time for action!

SUMMARY:30th ETRA Conference on Tyre Recycling
DESCRIPTION:30 Years of Tyre Recycling: Innovations to build the Future \nis the title of the 30th Annual ETRA Conference on Tyre Recycling that will take place Tuesday through Thursday\, 25-27 March 2025 at Le Louise Hotel in Brussels. \nThirty years is an important milestone which has been achieved thanks to a continuous innovation and to the efforts of many SMEs around Europe\, supported by the EU Commission through research projects and environmental policies. Innovation will be the corner stone to build the future. \nAlong the years new materials were produced : rubber\, steel fibres and textile fibres\, that are used in many different products and applications\, from roads and road furniture to sport surfaces\, from building materials to infrastructure – and many others.- \nDespite the above mentioned efforts the market did not grow as expected but grew randomly. Some markets have expanded significantly in recent years\, e.g. the sport sector\, which represent a success story for recycling. Others\, like roads and public works\, have not grown enough to represent a stable and reliable demand. \nTyre manufacturers at the beginning disregarded Recycled Tyre Materials owing to the fact recycled rubber being vulcanized is not suitable to be incorporated into new tyres compound. But owing to the fragility of the value chain of natural rubber\, included by the EU among Critical Raw Materials (CRM)\, they recently took into consideration various output of Tyre Recycling sector\, such as fine rubber powder\, devulcanised rubber\, recovered carbon black. Again\, innovation is key word for the future expansion of this market. \nThis is where we are now after 30 years. And the future? We will try to discover together during three days Conference. \nThe Workshop on Tuesday is designed to stimulate Public Administrations and to create synergies among various EU funded projects on Recycled Tyre Materials. \nThe Plenary Sessions on Wednesday will focus on the Critical Challenges we face: reduced availability of EOL tyres for recycling owing to uncontrolled export towards the south of the world\, Sport market under pressure\, Public Works market to be stimulated\, Green Deal under discussion. Which will be the EU Policy adjustments of the new Commission? What are the positions of the stakeholders? Tyre manufacturers will be able to use more recyclates ? How will impact the crisis of the Automotive industry and other changes in mobility? These are just some points that will be addressed. Quantifying ELT arising across the EU is still important and will help to understand more. \nThen the exciting Spotlight on Innovation will offer an overview on new products trends and developments\, New technologies\, EU Projects. \nThursday will start by considering various technology to up-cycle the rubber and use it back into new mixes for the industry. Pyrolysis is still catalyzing the attention of tyre manufacturers and the interest of investors. The last session will be on EU Programs\, Cooperation and Funding opportunities. \nThere are many informal opportunities for Delegates and Speakers to meet and discuss common interests during\, cocktail receptions and meals and after-hours meetings.

SUMMARY:The benefits of public buyers’ collaboration
DESCRIPTION:Public procurement is increasingly seen and used by public buyers to drive green\, resilient\, and inclusive development. However\, procurers often struggle to implement effective circular and innovative public procurement due to several challenges\, such as legal barriers\, lack of market responsiveness or preparedness to cater the buyers’ needs. In this context\, cooperation between regions and municipalities is crucial to strengthen knowledge sharing during the procurement process. Joining forces can help to amplify market reach\, achieve fair purchasing conditions and secure high-quality services and goods in line with the buyers’ needs. \nThrough examples from across Europe\, this workshop will show how and when it is most relevant to work together to find successful purchasing solutions\, and how that can be done in practice. \nThis training is the fifth and last training of the BRINC Network of Public Authorities. \nAgenda\n\nHow to carry out collaborative procurement(s) and related benefits\nMalin Håkansson (Lawyer at Sigeman & Co and BRINC Legal helpdesk)\nCollaboration in federated procurement processes: the case of CLIMABOROUGH\nFrancesco Molinari (CLIMABOROUGH)\nSuccessful cases of collaboration for procurement from the Circular PSP Project\nDina Padalkina (Circular Berlin)\n\n\nRegistration\nRegister online here.
