EU Circular Talks – Industrial symbiosis: A tool for the Green Deal

June 4, 2021 @ 8:00 am 5:00 pm IST

Moving to more circular economy models is one of the European circular economic community’s main objectives today. This transition promises a brighter future for the European economy. By helping to decouple economic growth from resource use and its impacts, the circular economy offers the prospect of actual, sustainable development.

Industrial Symbiosis is a way to achieve a more sustainable and integrated industrial system, identifying business opportunities that leverage underutilised resources. Stakeholders in related sectors collaborate to reuse residues, use by-products properly, and find innovative ways to optimise inputs.

The EIT Community Circular EconomyCircLean and the ECESP are holding a #EUCircularTalks to identify the main challenges and potential solutions related to Industrial Symbiosis. The event will discuss topics such as innovation, policy options and the market. Join the event on 16 June from 9.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. CEST.
