To mark its 30th anniversary, ACR+ launched a photo contest themed "Capturing Circularities in Cities and Regions". You can see the winning and runner-up photos here.
ACR+ and a coalition of cities, regions, environmental authorities, national ministries, and partners of the Urban Agenda Partnership for Greening Cities, have issued a call for the urgent adoption of the EU Nature Restoration Law
The Football Association of Wales has introduced its new action plan, aiming to challenge current matchday mobility principles and improve waste management. This initiative is part of the broader ACCESS project, with various sports organisations publishing similar plans
Region Stedendriehoek supports and motivates companies to improve their circularity. Thanks to a contribution from ACR+ member Clean Tech Region, four companies now receive a significant financial contribution from the Circular Factories Stimulus Fund, which enables them to make their product, production or chain more circular. The fund contribution amounts to EUR 687 000. These circular projects can generate significant savings in mineral and fossil raw materials, including no less than 6.6 million m3 of groundwater and a huge reduction of CO2 emissions.
The four companies and projects selected are BioPanel which will recycle its bio-based panel material; Water Roundabout Eerbeek and its fully circular water system for four paper factories; Leadax Circular Roofing and its sustainable roofing of unused plastic waste; and Circufloc which is developing a bio-based circular product with very good insulation value for buildings.
