How long are the #lifespans of the different products Europeans use?

Our latest briefing explores why extending product lifespans is crucial for improving #circularity & #sustainability by reducing the demand for new materials and products.

Tja werte #CDUCSUkorrupt, #FDPseudoliberal und #SPDbeton: Vielleicht war der Kuschelkurs und die Zugeständnisse auf die polemischen Forderungen von #Bauernverband und Co. sowie der #fossilLobby doch nicht der richtige Weg? Vielleicht liegen die Ursachen einfach tiefer (wie #Umweltverbände und andere gewarnt hatten), und:
ein ständiger Konkurrenzkampf und zunehmende Exportorientierung zu internationalen Märkten führen in die Sackgasse?
vielleicht ist immer größer/schneller/weiter doch kein Garant für mehr Wert, sondern treibt Preise für Lebensmittel und Einkommen nach unten?
vielleicht wäre es mal geboten, die Grundlagen für Landwirtschaft e.g. #Boden #Luft #Biodiversität zu bewahren und deren Zustand zu verbessern, anstatt entsprechende Regeln als vermeintliche Hemmnisse zu #framen und immer weiter zu schleifen?!

Writing an issue of 'RZ notes' reflecting on the role of data and monitoring in #publicsector policy & politics on the #energytransition. In the case of the energy transition, I am way more supportive of data-driven policy than in case of #circularity where my point was, that "at this juncture, knowledge significantly outweighs the value of mere measurements, which can mislead or result in inaction, whereas knowledge has the potential to generate momentum and power". https://rzondervan.substack.com/p/notes-62024

Every year it’s gets earlier that we use up the ecological resources +services our planet can regenerate. Every year we get closer to tipping points & leave our safe operating space.

So let’s invest mre in #biodiversity #ClimateAction #circularity

Add another #solar panel company — “9Tech” — to the list that can #recycle upwards 99% of solar panels materials AND without releasing harmful gases or chemicals!

9Tech’s #recycling plant aims to recycle 800 panels per day or ~275k - 290k panels/yr.

9Tech joins other companies — like Solarcycle & We Recycle Solar — who also recycle 95-99% of solar panel materials. Solarcycle aims to use recycled materials for new solar panels: true #circularity.

The German scientist and world traveler Alexander von Humboldt once said: "A hill whose height is not known offends reason." I maintain that in our pursuit of a more circular society, prioritizing the acquisition and application of knowledge—and the empowerment it brings—should take precedence over the mere metrics of measuring and managing, even if von Humboldt might deem such a stance as offending reason. #circularity #publicsector #monitoring #sustainability https://rzondervan.substack.com/p/notes-62024

Just released! Catch the key moments from our annual event "Cementing Europe’s Future: Buildings for a Net Zero Age" in our highlights video, now available on @euractiv_green : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00keo_dtajM&ab_channel=Euractiv

Our panel of experts discussed innovative approaches to make cement and #concrete more sustainable in construction projects, emphasising reduced carbon footprints. The event also showcased the importance of #circularity in our "#decarbonisation efforts.
