According to Eurostat, in 2023, every EU citizen generated 511 kg of municipal waste. Of that: ✅ 48 % was recycled 🔥 25 % was incinerated 🏞️ 22 % was landfilled Packaging waste remains a growing challenge. In 2022, according to European Environmental Bureau (EEB), EU citizens produced over 180 kg of packaging waste per person. Today, on the first day of the European Week for Waste Reduction, it’s worth highlighting the targets and opportunities ahead 👉 by 2025, the EU aims to recycle 65 % of all packaging waste. 💡 We see this as a call to action: waste is a design flaw waiting for innovation. Climate Tech founders and impact investors have a unique opportunity to develop the infrastructure, technologies, and policies that make a zero-waste future possible.

♻️ Did you know that #WastetoEnergy plays an essential role in Europe’s transition to a circular economy? While recycling and #waste prevention remain priorities, a truly circular system also requires sustainable treatment of residual waste that cannot be recycled. Waste-to-Energy provides this essential function: it diverts waste from landfills, reduces methane emissions, recovers energy and materials, while supporting Europe’s energy and raw material security. 📢 For more insights on how to close the circular economy loop, don't miss ESWET's Head of Policy Charoula Melliou's presentation at Pollutec in Lyon ⤵️ 🗓️ Tuesday, 7 October 📍 Forum Économie Circulaire, Pollutec Lyon ⌚ 17:45 - 18:30 Learn more ➡️ https://lnkd.in/g2_5Q6g5

🌍 Sustainability Update 🌍 We are proud to share that Atlas Export Enterprises has recently disclosed our environmental data through the CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project). This step reflects our commitment to transparency, accountability, and measurable climate action. At Atlas, sustainability is not just a compliance requirement — it is a responsibility we carry as a leading home-textile manufacturer. By reporting to CDP, we strengthen our journey towards low-impact dyeing, clean weaving, renewable energy adoption, and water stewardship. 💡 Awareness Matters: Every meter of fabric carries an environmental footprint — let’s work to make it lighter.

What if ports could track every drop of waste? 💬 “Every year, up to 300,000 tonnes of ship waste miss port reception systems in the EU.” If you're working in port operations or managing circular strategies, this number speaks directly to you. But what if there were already ports addressing this head-on? On 7 October, we’ll showcase how digital tools and hands-on collaboration are reshaping waste management across European ports. 🔹 Hear from: – Port of Amsterdam and its I-US model – Port of Balearic Islands, with Portnet as solution provider 🔹 Join the discussion: – What’s really stopping ports from going circular? – How do you address reuse, rethink, and repair, not just disposal? 📅 7 October 🕙 10:00–11:30 CET 📍 Online 🎯 For: port authorities, ops managers, commercial leads, sustainability officers → Register now and bring your questions: https://lnkd.in/eQA72rqU 🧩 This webinar is organised by ICLEI & CircularInvest, under the Circular Cities and Regions Initiative.
