Is recycling enough?

16 Mar 2021

Zero Waste Europe

For any municipality, an effective separate collection kerbside system that enables high-quality materials to be recycled forms the foundation of any local zero waste strategy. For most residents, they believe that by recycling at home, they are doing their bit to help reduce waste and protect the environment. However, given the urgency of the need to address the myriad of environmental issues we face today, is recycling enough or do we need a more bold approach? This webinar will go into greater depth to answer these key questions: Why are so many member states not achieving the 2020 EU recycling target? Is there enough recycling capacity in Europe today to meet the demand? What are the problems with recycling today? Can citizens be confident that what they put in their recycling bin actually gets recycled into a new product or materials? What policies and solutions can local municipalities implement with their communities to ensure reuse over recycling?

HEAL webinar - A conversation with renowned epidemiologist Dr. Shanna Swan, author of 'Count Down'

16 Mar 2021

Health and Environme...

In February 2021, renowned epidemiologist Dr. Shanna Swan released a new book alerting about the threats posed by hormone disrupting chemicals and our modern environment that are imperiling reproductive health, fertility, and the fate of humankind. Building on more than 25 years of research on the associations between exposure to environmental pollutants and health effects, “Count Down – How our modern world is threatening sperm counts, altering male and female reproductive development and imperiling the future of the human race” is a clarion call for more protective public policies and changes in our modern way or living. The Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL) sat down with Dr. Swan to discuss the main findings of her book, as well as her recommendations for more protective public policies. Her presentation was followed by a panel discussion featuring two guest speakers: - Dr. Majorie van Duursen is a professor of toxicology at the Vrije Universiteit of Amsterdam and the coordinator of one of Europe’s leading research projects to upgrade testing methods on endocrine disrupting, FREIA (Female Reproductive Toxicity of EDCs – A Human Evidence-Based Screening and Identification Approach), which aims at developing new test methods to identify EDCs toxic to female reproduction. - Dr. Lola Gómez Roig is the Head of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department at the Hospital Sant Joan de Déu, University of Barcelona and and a member of the International Federation of Gynecologists and Obstetricians (FIGO), where she sits and actively participates in the committee on reproductive developmental & environmental health. To find out more about HEAL’s work to minimize exposure to toxic chemicals, visit our website and sign up to our newsletter: https://www.env-health.org/ The Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL) is the leading not-for-profit organisation addressing how the environment affects human health in the European Union (EU) and beyond.

#WeChooseReuse Discussion Series - Jean Bouteille

15 Mar 2021

Zero Waste Europe

There are lots of good environmental reasons for producing and consuming reuse products - e.g. from effectively preventing littering at source, to promoting sustainable consumption habits. Yet, their economic advantage has been more difficult to grasp at times, in a still largely unwelcoming context utterly dominated by single-use products. Through the success story of the French company Jean Bouteille, we will see what it takes for a reuse business model to be both environmentally friendly and economically viable in a matter of years, helping us to make new inroads in our decision-makers’ agenda with genuine solutions. This company, created in 2014, associates two modes of ecological consumption to save the consumer money: the bulk system and the returnable bottle system.

Local Authority Environmental Enforcement Activities for 2019

11 Mar 2021

EPA Ireland

Almost 23,000 enforcement actions were taken by local authorities in 2019. 90% of these related to waste and litter issues. 31 local authorities regulate more than 500 environmental areas including air quality, water quality and waste management. We have released our report on local authority environmental enforcement activities for 2019. Throughout that year, approximately 188,000 inspections were carried out and over 78,000 environmental complaints were lodged, mostly regarding waste issues, and over 1,700 prosecutions were carried out, mainly for littering. Our report also found that more needs to be done to drive compliance nationally with water protection legislation, given the continuing decline in water quality. A substantial programme of water inspection was undertaken by the local authorities during the year which led to over a thousand enforcement actions and a number of prosecutions during 2019. Further action and coordination are also needed to ensure compliance with air legislation, with a focus on fuels that are on sale and in use in low smoke zones.

Awareness, concern and action over how we dispose of plastics in the marine environment and elsewhere have grown enormously in recent years, there are many other and less known impacts of plastics, including its contribution to climate change and new challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The term plastics covers a wide range of products used in almost all economic sectors, showing a wide range of characteristics when it comes to recycling and re-using them. What is the way forward? Biodegrable and re-usable plastics? How do plastics fit in a circular economy? In this EEA Ask an Expert session, we asked our live viewers' questions to EEA experts Lars Mortensen and Almut Reichel working on circular economy and waste issues.

European Forest Institute

EFI's Director Marc Palahí invites you to join us on 19 March, at the online digital forum Nature at the heart of a global circular bioeconomy. Find out more: https://www.cifor.org/event/nature-at-the-heart-of-a-global-circular-bioeconomy/ Forests, trees and landscapes have long played a role in economic development, with the rise and fall of societies coinciding with the health of farms, fields and forests and the availability of their biological resources as renewable sources of energy, building materials, food and other ecosystem services. Now, sustainable landscapes are more important than ever in protecting the world from accelerating climate change and helping to mitigate the runaway consumption of non-renewable resources. The circular bioeconomy – an economy powered by nature and its sustainable resources – offers a unique opportunity to use renewable natural capital to holistically transform and manage our land, food, health and industrial systems as well as our cities. If managed sustainably for people and the planet, it has the potential to decarbonize our economy and restore biodiversity while providing jobs and achieving inclusive growth. On March 19, the European Forest Institute (EFI), the recently-merged Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) and World Agroforestry (ICRAF) and the Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra, in collaboration with the Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) and the Sustainable Markets Initiative Circular Bioeconomy Alliance (SMI CBA), will host the world’s first conference examining the forest-based bioeconomy with a focus on the Global South. This half-day digital forum will bring together investors, scientists, forestry, agroforestry and landscape experts, practitioners, community and business leaders and policy makers to explore what it will take to shift to a circular bioeconomic model that supports people and the planet, putting nature at the heart of how we operate.

How to solve the waste trade crisis?

16 Feb 2021

Zero Waste Europe

The impact of waste that is generated in Europe continues to be felt in countries and communities thousands of miles away. Communities are having to deal with the effects of non-recyclable waste from Europe that is increasingly dumped or burnt. 2020 was an important year in the fight to tackle the waste trade crisis. This webinar will examine what the current policy landscape is and what is being done to tackle this problem at the local, European and global level. This webinar will go into greater depth to answer these key questions: What are the latest developments regarding EU law on waste shipments? What have the consequences been of this, both in Europe and abroad? What does a plastic waste export ban mean? And where does it apply? When we ban waste from being exported, what should we do with it? What other measures should be taken from a circular economy perspective? What, if anything, can local communities and municipalities do to prevent more waste from being illegally exported? Where does responsibility sit for tackling this issue?

EEA Ask an expert - Can Europe meet its energy needs through renewables?

11 Feb 2021

European Environment...

Europe is meeting an increasing share of its energy needs through renewable sources. Can renewables meet all our energy needs? How can we achieve policy targets? Our assessments also show that the increased use of renewable electricity across the European Union has not only reduced pressures linked to climate change, but also to air and water pollution (particulate matter formation, eutrophication and acidification). Cross-border cooperation could further enhance progress. On this Ask an Expert session, we asked our live viewers' questions to EEA experts, Mihai Tomescu and Javier Esparrago, working on energy and the environment.

Are low levels of chemicals in food packaging safe?

5 Feb 2021

Food Packaging Forum

In this second episode of the Unwrapping Food Packaging vlog, Dr. Jane Muncke from the Food Packaging Forum discusses how chemicals are defined as ‘safe’ by many regulatory bodies through chemical risk assessments, including the concepts of hazard and exposure. She presents on why low levels of chemicals present in food packaging may not mean that they are safe levels. This includes understanding (i) non-monotonic dose responses where higher effects from a chemical are seen at lower concentrations, (ii) that mixtures of chemicals migrate together from food packaging, and (iii) the importance of the timing of exposure to a chemical (such as on pre-natal or early life phases).

Every year, 3.7 million Europeans are diagnosed with cancer. The EU cancer plan is about fighting cancer together and giving hope back to patients and survivors. How does our work strengthen Europe in the fight against cancer? Under the REACH regulation, the most dangerous chemicals are controlled or replaced. Cancer-causing chemicals are also restricted. Chemicals causing cancer are classified and labelled so that people are protected. We work on setting exposure limits at work to protect workers from being exposed to chemicals that can cause cancer. ECHA has the largest database in the world on chemicals and their properties that can be used to find and replace cancer-causing chemicals.

Impact of COVID-19 restrictions on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions

29 Jan 2021

EPA Ireland

EPA and Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) have released an analysis of the impact of COVID-19 restrictions on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2020. The estimates show a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of almost 6% in 2020, compared to 2019. Emissions from the transport sector are estimated to be over two million tonnes of CO2 equivalent (Mt CO2eq) lower than last year, a fall of almost 17%. Residential sector emissions are estimated to have increased by 9% (0.6 Mt CO2eq) in 2020. This is mostly from home heating, as many people worked extensively from home. Emissions from the energy industries sector are estimated to be 14% lower (1.3 Mt CO2eq less) than in 2019. This was most significantly due to less coal and peat used in power generation, with the pandemic measures playing a smaller part. Read the full report here: bit.ly/36jV3Li

Case Study on Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)

27 Jan 2021

Ecologic Institute

In this video, Ventseslav Kozarev (Applied Research and Communications Fund) presents his RECIPES case study on Genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The case study looks into the evolution of the Bulgarian regulatory context around GMOs and the ensuing policy discourse, with the intention to investigate and demonstrate the relevance of the precautionary principle and its integration within legislative and broader debates in the country. It attempts to explain how legislative decisions are influenced, or not, by arguments of precaution and science, and how very often these arguments were challenged by a great degree of uncertainty and socially constructed perception of risks. The RECIPES (REconciling sCience, Innovation and Precaution through the Engagement of Stakeholders) project aims to propose ideas on how to align the precautionary principle with the goals of innovation to ensure sustainable and safe solutions, while fostering social awareness and responsibility in the EU in research and innovation. The project is funded by the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme of the European Union under Grant Agreement no. 824665.
