Cradle-ALP: Online workshops on textile circularity in Europe

As part of the European Interreg Cradle-ALP project, the partners are organizing a series of online workshops on the circular transformation of the Textile industry in the European Alpine Space (France, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Northern Italy and Switzerland), focusing on technical textiles.
 
This series of workshops will bring together companies, academics and public players to delve deeper into the crucial issues and drivers that will contribute to the transformation of the technical textiles industry in the Alpine region. The aim is to work together to establish a transformation roadmap to encourage sustainable and circular production of textiles, and to support the industry in adopting circular economy models.

ZEvRA Project Embarks on a Groundbreaking Journey towards Zero Emission Road Transport

The European Commission's commitment to circularity in automotive

In line with the European Commission's aim to achieve zero CO2 emissions by 2035, ZEvRA, a research initiative funded under Horizon Europe, has officially commenced its mission to revolutionise the circularity of light-duty Electric Vehicles (EVs). With 28 partners from 13 countries, the consortium seeks to reshape the entire EV value chain from raw materials to end-of-life processes.

Running from January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2026, the project boasts €11.4 million in grant funding, including support from Northumbria University, UK. The collaborative effort, led by 28 partners, targets sustainability improvements in materials, production processes, and end-of-life considerations for EVs.

Launch of the European INCIRCULAR project

INCIRCULAR - INtegrating Cybernated Innovation to Raise the scale of Circular Units Looping Allied Regions

The European project INCIRCULAR - INtegrating Cybernated Innovation to Raise the scale of Circular Units Looping Allied Regions - funded by Horizon Europe began on October 1, 2023 and will run for 3 years.

The INCIRCULAR project aims to unleash the innovation potential of European regions in the plastics circular economy, thanks in particular to a cascade funding system. Indeed, innovative solutions are needed to produce new types of environmentally-friendly plastics while offering technical properties and costs similar to those of petroleum-based plastics currently on the market.
