Circonnact - Regenerative Circularity

Get inspired by the solutions of the #CircularCityChallenge! In a #CircularCity it is not just about managing the material flows, the #circular strategies also need to take into account using renewable energy, energy efficiency, establishing energy efficient solutions and having the data available to optimize capacities for energy. Our municipal partners in the area “Energy” selected three solutions submitted to the #CircularCityChallenge 2023, increasing citizens' awareness of CO2 reduction through circular economy concepts, while offering various incentives and solutions to promote sustainable energy production and conservation measures. Making it easy to understand which solution fits best to your needs, helping with the process to obtain solar energy for homes or helping building managers to optimize usage. Does your city or district provides these or similar services?

Check out which examples for #circularsolutions you can see in your city this weekend when enjoying local events, markets and gastronomy. It was a part of the #CircularCityChallenge this year to get inspired by already existing solutions. We know that we need to make events, gastronomy and local markets more sustainable and circular by reducing the food and packaging waste and motivate for a better usage of the resources, including water. Two solutions could convince the municipal partners as jury of the Circular City Challenge 2023 in the area “Events & Gastronomy”, focusing on the events with circular (zero waste) options as well as establishing a uniform reusable strategy in gastronomy for easy coordination in city/district. Kooky. Establishing a comprehensive return infrastructure to facilitate the shift to a circular economy in the 2Go and takeaway market, we provide reusable containers through a deposit fee and manage returns via our network of return boxes. https://www.kooky2go.com Quelle der Nachhaltigkeit Utilizing water fountains with Impact-Screen and Impact-Measurement as sources for water and information on the circular economy, sustainability, and awareness. https://lnkd.in/eRC7Twg2 What are your preferred solutions?

How can a #CircularEconomy become the mainstream solution, how far is Austria on the way to #Circularity and how can we bring people on board to have #CircularThinking as a default development method for organisations and regions? These were some of the questions we answered in our training yesterday at the Climate Lab, which Andreas Ellenberger held together with Johannes Kisser from alchemia-nova. Looking into the background why companies will need to be ready for their role in an economy which is circular. For future business in #Europe this will be a prerequisite, and the #EurpeanUnion is supporting with more and more regulations and support by the #GreenDeal program, from #taxonomy and #ecodesign guidelines to #csrd reporting on the progress. It also requires a vision of the future where healthy living conditions are the primary objectives, instead of financial wealth of a small group of people which determines the current system. We looked into nature based solutions, discussed how the application in the own environment can look like, it was an inspiring circle of people with different backgrounds. #sustainability #innovativesolutions #collaboration

One of the challenges for a #CircularCity is the area of “#WasteManagement” - it is good to see that the most promising solutions chosen by the municipal partners take a different approach than a better recycling. At the #CircularCityChallenge three solutions were chosen for optimizing the use and processing of organic waste with the involvement of citizens and developing and introducing sustainable alternative #packaging to avoid single-use plastic across the board. ⭕ Goldeimer Specializing in producing humus fertilizer from biodegradable diaper inserts, Goldeimer aims to reduce diaper waste in residual waste streams. www.goldeimer.de ✍️ do you know that since 2023 every place offering takeaway needs to provide reusable solutions? Are you asking? There are a lot of solutions with different benefits already existing, the ones preferred by our municipal partners to avoid waste are: ⭕ FairCup GmbH FairCup GmbH offers a reusable deposit system, encompassing product development, manufacturing, digital deposit processing, logistics for washing, and return machines. They are using one-material solutions which makes it easier for later recycling, include rental services and use the existing deposit infrastructure as the cups can be entered into standard deposit machines. www.fair-cup.de ⭕ Sykell EINFACH MEHRWEG EINFACH MEHRWEG is a reusable packaging solution, manufacturing and distributing self-developed beverage cups and food containers. They make it easy to get onboard and have a vast network in Germany. www.einfach-mehrweg.com You can find out more about these and all the other promising solutions here: https://lnkd.in/dd_v6rDH Thanks to our funding partners Stuttgarter Klima-Innovationsfonds. materialkreislauf.
