Last week, CIRCULÉIRE Circular Economy Venture Lead Agnese Metitieri joined panelists Paul McSweeney, James Tombs, and Francis O'Haire at the Techies Go Green conference in the Guinness Enterprise Centre last week 💡 The panel tackled the question: 'How we can accelerate #CircularEconomy transformations for #Sustainable business success?' They shed light on key roadblocks like limited consumer awareness and the challenges SMEs face in keeping up with regulatory shifts 🌍 By showcasing innovative Irish circularity initiatives - including the CIRCULÉIRE 2024 cohort of Circular Accelerator Ventures - the panel underscored how #CircularEconomy solutions are vital to #ClimateAction. Designing out #Waste and extending the materials lifecycle aren't just nice-to-haves; they are essential for mitigating climate change and critical to implement EU and Irish #Decarbonisation strategy #Sustainability #SustainableBusiness #CircularSolutions Irish Manufacturing Research Geraldine Brennan, PhD Marianne Dorney Leanne Conroy Paul McCormack-Cooney Eluise Vaz Valentina Rangel Leon Valentina Tarasco Yi Liu Chen Daniel Whelan Sophie Reynolds

"If you agree that the earth is not flat, you'll probably also agree that a linear economy on a circular planet cannot work." - That's what I told the jury of Slush in my $1M pitch. We started Faircado with the aim to make circular consumption accessible & easy to all. This graphic from CIRCULAR REPUBLIC & UnternehmerTUM might look like just another startup landscape to some. To me, it is the symbol of hope. Things are moving!! 🚀 Cheers to you, awesome friends WILDPLASTIC®, Vyld, Cirplus, Vytal | The reuse system, everwave, Resourcify, FixFirst - The OS for Circular Services & Products, ecoLocked, rebuy, circulee, refurbed,... 💚 Keep up the great work! #circulareconomy #sustainability #innovation #faircado

Can a centuries-old process be innovative and technological? Yes, that's the way we're going. A story of the past and the present, of the technology, research and innovation that shape the territory, the forests and contribute to a more sustainable planet. We want to go further, building partnerships and sharing knowledge. With a focus on the forest, the excellence of the raw materials it provides and a firm commitment, we are forming a sustainable union, planting and growing together. On International Day of Forests, we celebrate the Forest Intervention Project at Herdade do Rio Frio, where we are changing the future with sustainable and innovative practices. We invite you to watch our Roots of Innovation to learn more about this promising project. #Internationaldayofforests #forest #amorimcork #sustainablebynature

As we mark Zero Waste Week, it is a crucial time to reflect on how waste reduction can transform our environment, economy, and society. This global initiative encourages individuals and businesses to rethink waste, pushing us toward more sustainable practices. For the Green Alley Award, supporting startups in the circular economy, Zero Waste Week aligns perfectly with our mission. The traditional "take-make-dispose" model is unsustainable, and the startups we champion are leading the charge in turning waste into valuable resources. From eco-friendly packaging to upcycling innovations, these trailblazers prove that sustainability and profitability can coexist. Consider adopting more sustainable practices, supporting circular economy startups, and spreading awareness. Every action counts as we work toward a circular economy. Let us use this week to inspire change. Together, we can turn waste into opportunity and build a sustainable future. #ZeroWasteWeek #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #GreenAlleyAward #Innovation #WasteReduction
