📣 We are delighted to present our panellists for "Delivering energy efficient, low carbon utilities and support infrastructure" 🌱 This panel will explore how the built environment needs to make the transition to energy efficiency now if we’re going to secure a better future for all: 🔹 How can we address the critical pillars of ESG, corporate sustainability obligations and develop business strategies, plans and actions? 🔹 How can we tackle the energy and environmental challenges of population growth? 🔹 How can we expedite the delivery of sustainable infrastructure whilst also decarbonising construction? 🔹 What are the most sustainable and environmentally friendly ways to improve transportation infrastructure? 🔹 What tech innovations and key trends are shaping a greener future for construction? Our panellists are: 🔸 Alasdair Henderson, Executive Director, BAM UK & Ireland 🔸 Eamonn Stapleton, Chair of CIF ESG Panel, CIF Vice President, MD, Clonmel Enterprises Ltd. 🔸 Maria O’Dwyer, Infrastructure Delivery Director, Uisce Éireann 🔸 PJ Ryan, Head of ESG, Construction Industry Federation (CIF) 📝 View the agenda in full here 👉 https://loom.ly/ZRuPwhk 🎟️ Secure your spot at the CIF Annual Conference now, get your early bird ticket here 👉 https://loom.ly/6lGjl_Y #CIFConference24 #CIFSummits Construction Industry Federation (CIF)

It's always good to help out #consumer magazines who are looking at real world issues and want some 'expert advice' to help their readers #dotherightthing and thats what i did when the journal #IdealHome contacted SUEZ UK to discuss what we can do with small #electrical items we may not want or need that are laying around the house.... obviously #reuse #repair or #recycle them depending on the circumstances, but where and how? check out this article to find out more.... https://lnkd.in/e_44tJmw

Did you know that EPR schemes are becoming increasingly significant in waste policy and legislation? Most recently, the EU Council invited Member States to explore expanding EPR schemes to more products! At FEAD, we believe that EPR schemes should primarily address market failures and remain focused on eco-design and recyclability. It's essential to maintain a clear role distribution, ensuring that producers don't monopolize the waste management process. 📢 Want to learn more about FEAD's key principles on EPR?

CWP introduces new catalogues of solutions. The Catalan Water Partnership is a first level cluster that joins innovative companies and the best knowledge centres for sustainable water management. Catalonia is placed in the Western Mediterranean basin and, thus, water management is a concern for its inhabitants and public authorities. This is why the CWP got accredited as Cluster Management Excellence Gold Label and is a key member of the Water Europe network. Hydroo is a member of the cluster and proud to actively collaborate with it. Recently, the CWP has created a Catalogue of Digital Solutions to support the general use of digital technologies in the integral water cycle management. Additionally, a new Catalogue of solutions and services to fight the recurrent Mediterranean drought conditions appeared. Hydroo water technologies contribute to spread the high-end water solutions provided by our partner companies according to the main strategic axis of the CWP: shared value and cooperation, R&D&I, circular economy, industry 4.0, internationalization and business development worldwide. #hydroo #pumpingsolutions

🥳 We’re chuffed to share that our Advanced Thermal Conversion (ATC) Gasification project has been awarded £2.3m from Ofwat’s Innovation Fund as part of the Water Breakthrough Challenge. ✨ The aim of this innovative project is to prove that gasification of 100% of sewage sludge destroys contaminants such as microplastics and ‘forever chemicals’, preventing them from re-entering the environment, and creates biochar and syngas, which have multiple, environmentally sustainable uses. By converting sewage sludge at high temperatures, the ATC Gasification process not only aims to reduce harmful pollutants but also supports a circular economy by turning the by-products into valuable resources. These include using biochar as a soil improver and in brick manufacturing, and converting syngas into green electricity and even aviation fuel. We are proud to lead this initiative alongside our partners; Enertecgreen Ltd. (ETG), Queen's University Belfast, Carbon Trust, Thames Water, United Utilities, Anglian Water Services, Scottish Water, Uisce Éireann Irish Water, Northern Ireland Water, Southern Water and Wessex Water. 🥰 If you’d like to know more about this project, visit: https://ow.ly/P1Hg50RIbeo For more information about the Water Breakthrough Challenge, visit: https://ow.ly/QEue50RIbep

FEFCO DG Eleni Despotou is the first speaker today at the workshop. In her speech entitled "Developments of EU Regulations on Energy Efficiency and Decarbonisation," Despotou emphasised that businesses must:  ☑️Prioritize energy efficiency across all operations, from production processes to procurement and investments.  By focusing on reducing energy consumption and minimising waste, companies not only save costs but also contribute to a more sustainable future💚.  #CircularByNature https://lnkd.in/djwK8pcK

We are proud to announce the new SWANA Technical Policy and Guiding Principles on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). This is an important step for positioning SWANA to lead conversations on EPR. The technical policy and principles apply to EPR for packaging and products, with an emphasis on advancing safety, as well as supporting recycling and reuse infrastructure and systems.     EPR will be discussed in depth during the WASTECON® General Session -- Innovating for Impact: Extended Producer Responsibility in the Solid Waste and Resource Management Industry.    Learn more in the SWANA press release: https://lnkd.in/eHHHZRDt     # ExtendedProducerResponsibility #EPR #Recycling #Reuse #ResourceManagement #wastecon #swana #SustainableMaterialsManagement #SolidWasteManagement #WasteReduction #Recycling #Networking #GrapevineTX

Dr. Stelios Christofi, Managing Director & Founder, along with Vasilis Poulikakos, R&D Project Manager, and Maria Panagi, R&D Financial Assistant, actively participated in the Kick-Off Meeting held on February 19-20, 2024. The meeting was chaired by Ms. Akrivi Korba, Project Manager on behalf of the Project Coordinator Institute of Communication & Computer Systems (ICCS). The W2W (Wood2Wood Project) approach aims to extract maximum value from CDW and furniture waste by prioritising multiple uses and transformations of wood, according to its composition, the availability of upcycling technologies, and supply chain restrictions. Additionally, the W2W holistic approach will reduce the demand for virgin materials, reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills or incineration facilities, allow for the creation of new value-added products from waste materials, and support the transition towards a circular economy by promoting closed-loop systems where materials are continually repurposed and reused, extending their useful life. eBOS is delighted to take part in the multidisciplinary consortium of 25 European partners.
