In July, our Director @esradt.bsky.social joined the Clean Industrial Dialogue on Circularity.
For ZWE, the Circular Economy Act must address:
🕵️The missing business case for circularity.
⏭️ Moving beyond recycling.
📝 An Extended Producer Responsibility redesign.
📽️ See the video for more takeaways.
The 2nd edition of the Reuse Blueprint was launched by the ReuSe Vanguard Project (RSVP) at the REuse Economy Expo in Paris 🎉
It draws from data and experiences of the seven RSVP pioneering cities: Aarhus, Barcelona, Berlin, Ghent, Leuven, Paris, and Rotterdam.

🌍 C'est (déjà) la fin de l'année et la planète n'est pas à la fête : surconsommation des ressources, pollutions, risques pour la santé, menaces pour la biodiversité… Nos modes de production et de consommation actuels sont insoutenables.
Mais il existe des solutions 👇
As we wrap 2024 up, we want to thank you for your support over the past months.

Chemical recycling reality check 🚨
Industry experts confirm we need 50 years to scale up pyrolysis to address the plastic crisis.
Waiting until 2074 isn't a solution: it’s a delay tactic.
We've already got proven alternatives today:
✅ Waste prevention
✅ Reuse systems
✅ Smart product design
While fossil fuel corporations reap profits, the world faces escalating climate disasters and plastic pollution. It's time to break free from this destructive cycle. We need a strong and ambitious #PlasticsTreaty that significantly cuts plastic production now.
