From glass recycling to new materials: circularity in action in Estonia! 🇪🇪♻️
During their Järvakandi visit, @FEADinfo President Herwart Wilms & SG Paolo Campanella saw a great example of industrial symbiosis in practice.
Thanks to ECEIA, FEAD’s Estonian member, for organising!👏
This week, the @EU_Commission adopted new measures to prevent the destruction of unsold clothes & shoes.
🚫 What counts as 'destruction'?
Recycling, energy recovery & disposal (landfill).
✅ What doesn't'?
Preparation for reuse - checking, cleaning & repairing products.
♻️ What happens after household hazardous waste is collected?
Join the Hazards Out Workshop for practical EU examples on safe handling, treatment & recovery of #HazardousWaste 🇪🇺

Highlights from our conference Circularity in Practice! 🇮🇹♻️
@gruppo_a2a , @assoambiente & FEAD brought together the sector to discuss how Europe can accelerate #circular & industrial objectives in the new political term.
For a more detailed recap 👉 lnkd.in/evqTR89s
🛑 Europe is facing a paradox: despite ambitious policies, our circularity rate remains stagnant and in plastics, the very symbol of circularity, recycling capacity is declining.
If we want circularity to truly be at the core of our industrial policy, we must realign the rules so that Europe’s recyclers — not imported materials — form the backbone of our circular economy.
🎤 Speaker reveal!
Our 24 September workshop on Household Hazardous Waste will start with a panel on paint recycling featuring:
✨ Cynthia van Westerhuizen - Markus, Manager Technical Experts and Quality at AkzoNobel
✨ Erik Wegh, Commercial Director at InterChem
Full house today at FEAD!
We hosted Committee 2 (Material Recovery) & Committee 3 (Energy Recovery) — with great exchanges with @EU_Commission officials on the Circular Economy Act & EU climate policy.
Thanks to all who joined us!
The Council has adopted its position on the #ELVR — but key issues remain.
Diluted targets & timelines risk undermining circularity in 🇪🇺’s auto sector.

🌱 Green Week 2025 is underway!
At today’s session “The Circular Economy Act: Making Circular Markets Work”, FEAD President Claudia Mensi joined a panel moderated by Aurel Ciobanu-Dordea 🇪🇺 (DG Environment) to discuss how to make circular products competitive.
🎙️She stated: 'European companies are global leaders in recycling and recovery, this must be fully recognised. We need a sustainability index that prioritises materials treated and recycled in Europe, driving demand for recovered resources'.

🇮🇹 Buona Festa della Repubblica!
To mark Italy’s national day, we’re spotlighting our Italian full member, @assoambiente, the national association representing companies that provide environmental services and operate in the Circular Economy.
