The document summarizes key findings from two studies on fiscal policies and tools to stimulate a circular economy. It finds that existing instruments provide some support for reverse logistics and enabling factors, but have low coverage of innovative business models and specificity to circular economy conditions. It recommends both modifying existing instruments and introducing new ones, such as funds, grants and loans to support infrastructure development for processing biological nutrients. Potential new instruments discussed include product levies, reduced VAT for circular products, and linking levies to funds to support the circular economy.

Trade and Circular Economy Workshop - Session 3 - Daniel Montalvo

Trade can increase circularity in Europe's transition to a circular economy when there is a good environmental case for doing so. Trade enables taking advantage of economies of scale, finding the best treatment options according to the waste hierarchy, and ensuring the use of best available techniques in receiving facilities. However, certain principles must be followed to avoid negative environmental impacts, such as not trading waste that poses risks or induces environmental harm. Plastics are a key material where changes in a few major players present an opportunity to better manage plastic waste trade through measures like improving collection quality and investing in technology and facilities in third countries.

Presentation ey

The document provides an overview of sustainable resource management in the UAE, including: 1. Current waste generation and treatment methods, with opportunities for improved recycling. 2. The need for integrated waste management strategies and policies to transition to a circular economy model. 3.

The document discusses BS 8001, a standard developed by BSI Group to guide organizations in transitioning to a more circular economy. It provides an overview of what standards are and the drivers that led to the development of BS 8001, including reports and policies calling for more sustainable resource use. BS 8001 standardizes terminology and guides organizations on taking practical actions across six principles of circularity: systems thinking, innovation, stewardship, collaboration, value optimization, and transparency. The standard helps organizations identify circular economy opportunities and risks. BSI has also developed additional tools and standards to support the adoption of circular practices.

Anne Helbig (City of Groningen, Netherlands)

The city of Groningen in the Netherlands developed a roadmap for a circular economy from 2018-2020 following its participation in the OECD Circular Economy in Cities and Regions initiative. The roadmap focuses on five focal areas - energy, water, biomass/food, waste, and construction/demolition - and is guided by six principles including enabling residents and businesses to develop circular solutions, acting as a role model, and closing material cycles. An action plan was also created based on OECD recommendations to implement strategies, engage stakeholders, promote training and competition, and facilitate coordination across sectors to transition Groningen to a circular economy.

This document summarizes the current state of biomass power generation in the UK. It finds that while biomass power is a technology that can help meet the UK's renewable energy targets, it faces constraints including intermittent wind and solar sources and higher costs than some alternatives. Currently, biomass power is generated through both co-firing at large coal plants and smaller dedicated biomass facilities, but future support from government policies is uncertain as incentives like the Renewables Obligation are set to change.

Innovative and digital solutions for circularity and sustainability in textiles

CISUFLO project was presented during the “Workshop on Innovative and digital solutions for circularity and sustainability in textiles” organized by the European Commission DG Growth, last 15th October. Dr. Jan Vincent Jordan, on behalf of RWTH Aachen, introduced CISUFLO as potential best practices on how digitalisation supports sustainability and on how SMEs can be supported in digitalization (with a focus on RWTH Aachen “Systemic Transition Support Tool”). During the workshop the DG CNECT presented the concept of the Digital Product Passport and DG RTD explained the “Research & Innovation for Sustainable and Circular Textiles”. The EC’s priority on the sustainability and circular economy underlines once again how important it is that CISUFLO is working in this direction to lead the flooring sector in Europe towards the circular economy.

TCI 2016 Pilot study business models circular economy

This document summarizes the results of a pilot study on business models for the circular economy in the Netherlands. It identifies four key building blocks for circular business models: 1) organizing cycles, 2) revenue models, 3) value creation, and 4) strategy. The study found that participating companies focus on reducing waste and recycling, see opportunities in new revenue streams like pay-per-use models, and view responsible and cooperative behavior as strategic advantages. It concludes that fully realizing the circular economy will require new organizational models and cooperation between companies and other stakeholders.

How to identify tender opportunities for Green Public Procurement

Alliander - Dominique Hermans: Lokaal & Circulair

Presentatie A. Cramwinckel, Accenture | Springtij Forum 2016

The document summarizes a presentation on the Circular Economy Index, which assesses company performance in circularity. It discusses the need for metrics to evaluate circular economy practices in companies. The index measures 5 key areas of circularity with 25 key performance indicators. 50 Dutch companies participated in the index. All participants understood circular economy principles, and 87% integrated circularity into their strategies. However, few companies have fully implemented circular practices. Leaders in circularity were found to collaborate across industries, innovate processes, and develop new business models. Examples highlighted include a circular rail initiative and a partnership producing chemicals from municipal waste.

Springtij 2015 - presentatie Leo Meyer

The document summarizes key findings from the IPCC AR5 Synthesis Report on limiting global temperature increase to 2°C. It states that global GHG emissions must peak within the next 5-15 years and be 40-70% lower by 2050 compared to 2010 levels. Net zero or negative emissions are required by 2100. However, 65% of the carbon budget compatible with a 2°C goal has already been used up through 2011, leaving only a small remaining budget. Ambitious mitigation actions are needed immediately to prevent exceeding the 2°C limit.

Trends op de nederlandse arbeidsmarkt

ardienne verhoeven

Demografische veranderingen op de arbeidsmarkt en (gedwongen) andere keuzes van werkgevers en werknemers vragen om een frisse en nieuwe aanpak voor Recruitment en HRM. Stop met binden en boeien van werknemers die daar niet op zitten te wachten, ga anders om met personeelsplanning en zorg voor een integrale HRM aanpak van vast en flexibel personeel. Organisaties zijn niet langer begrensd door een juridisch arbeidscontract maar door psychologische contracten. Dat vraagt om een andere prioriteiten van HRM.

Allard Pheifer - Philips - Circular Economy

The document discusses Philips' circular economy initiatives which aim to decouple economic growth from resource consumption through reuse and new business models. It provides examples of Philips' service contracts where ownership remains with customers, their performance-based lighting contracts where Philips retains ownership of fixtures, and their refurbishment, part harvesting, and recycling programs. The circular economy is positioned as key to sustainable growth, but is often seen only as sustainability rather than sound business.

The document discusses how to best utilize the new eco-schemes under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) by creating synergies with private sustainability schemes. It recommends that member states (1) allocate a growing portion of CAP pillar 1 funds to eco-schemes, (2) connect eco-schemes to existing private sustainability schemes using an equivalence system overseen by an independent authority, and (3) develop an integrated point system to assess progress across different sustainability indicators for both public eco-schemes and private schemes. This would incentivize farmers to participate in private schemes and reduce bureaucracy by automatically qualifying them for equivalent public eco-schemes.

Barriers & drivers towards a circular economy

This document discusses barriers and drivers towards achieving a circular economy in the Netherlands. It identifies several types of barriers, including institutional, cultural, financial, technological, and regulatory. Specific regulatory barriers mentioned include a lack of harmonized standards and definitions, conflicting regulations between energy/waste policies, and preferential treatment for reuse and repair in policies. The document recommends improving education around circular economy principles, incentivizing new business models, removing subsidies that support linear economies, and ensuring policy tools are coherent and do not create unnecessary administrative burdens. It argues that transitioning to a circular economy will be challenging and last 1-2 generations.

Unilever and employee engagement springtij anniek mauser en egon de bruin

Unilever has launched a 6-week employee engagement program called "Driving Sustainable Growth through our Brands" across 15 European locations involving 8,500 employees. The program uses gamification elements like weekly challenges to educate employees on Unilever's sustainability goals and strategies (the Unilever Sustainable Living Plan), encourage sustainable behaviors both at work and home, and measure impact through surveys showing increased understanding and adoption of sustainable habits. The multi-step approach is aimed at creating long-term cultural change around sustainability within the company through social and peer-based learning.

Kiezen voor een Rijke Waddenzee (door Tjisse van der Heide)

Eerste presentatie in de sessie: "De Wadden – Verduurzaming van het intergetijdengebied" Het intergetijdengebied loopt onder water bij hoogtij en ligt droog bij laagtij. Boven water duizenden vogels, onder water veel leven dat je niet ziet. Het is een ecosysteem van internationale betekenis met een rijkdom aan plant- en diersoorten. Het gebied is verwaarloosd, en de vraag is hoe te te herstellen. De Eemsmonding en de Dollard zijn troebel, de natuur is daar de verliezer. Duurzame visserij is een eis, maar weinig vissers weten hoe dat moet. Dit grootste natuurpark van Noordwest Europa ligt vóór Springtij. De uitkomsten van alle waddensessies komen samen op zaterdag. Dan kijken we hoe de uitdagingen kunnen worden vertaald naar investeringen in de regio.
