Focusing on energy-using durable goods, we assess how increasing EPR fees could alter consumption habits and boost “consumer” circular economy practices .
Following the successful participation at the Klima Biennale Wien and the production of a series of artworks enabling the communication of research and scientific knowledge to a boarder audience, CircEUlar will be featured in an exhibition on Carbon Neutrality at local level.
A CircEUlar member of the UOXF team was invited to share insights on the direct and indirect footprint of digitalisation and participated in a panel discussion on planning urban transport infrastructure to accommodate autonomous mobility systems.
Drawing on data from the United Kingdom, Lithuania, Italy, the Netherlands, and Germany, this research, part of the multinational CircEUlar research project, captures activities that contribute to circularity—a key component in achieving sustainable development.
As 2024 draws to a close, our partner T6 Ecosystems and IIASA have been busy planning next year’s stakeholder engagement activities which will further enrich the research tasks.
Mobility, housing behaviour, and efforts to influence others to be more circular are some of the most tangible ways to observe circular behavior. Over the past two years, the CircEUlar team has collected data from over 5,000 households in five European countries to understand how circular people’s behavior currently is.
Researchers Gamze Ünlü, Alessio Mastrucci, and Volker Krey shared some of the latest findings from integrated modeling activities in the CircEUlar project with the research community.
The CMCC team is currently developing an online tool aimed at businesses and anyone interested in understanding what actions companies can take to boost the circular economy and reduce resource use.
Understanding the size and spatial distribution of socio-economic material stocks is important to inform strategies aimed at more sustainable resource management, a circular economy, as well as climate change mitigation.
As part of the process of developing a joint model to analyze energy flows and material stocks in urban areas, INEGI has currently concluded the estimation of material stocks in both buildings and mobility infrastructure for one of its case studies, the city of Porto.
