🌍 New tool for circular business development available! The Good Tribe introduces the Circular Business Action Canvas 🌱🌈 “I’m thrilled to share a new tool I’ve been working on: the Circular Business Action Canvas! In my journey of introducing circular and zero-waste business development to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), I’ve often encountered a common challenge. Many businesses, eager to make a positive change, struggle with confusion and lack of information about practical alternatives on how to implement their first circular measures. They often end up choosing the first idea that comes to mind, which may not always be the most ambitious or effective. At this critical moment, when businesses start to think about transforming their operations, there’s immense potential! That’s where we want to support them to make the best choices!” // Evelina Lundqvist, co-founder The Good Tribe 🦋🦄✅ To address this, we compiled a comprehensive list of actionable steps that SMEs can take to transition into the circular economy. The purpose of this list is to save time and jump-start the process for businesses by providing an organized overview of potential actions. We encourage you to use this canvas (and perhaps even create your own list!) and share your experiences with me. What worked well? What could be improved? What did I miss? Your feedback is invaluable! Visit The Good Tribe’s website, https://lnkd.in/dhEWDwuc or the Miro template, https://lnkd.in/dt2i_N_s to access the Circular Business Action Canvas. Let’s work together to build a more sustainable future. 🌿 About the Circular Business Action Canvas: The canvas organizes actions based on key circular economy principles: Refuse 🚫, Reduce ➖, Rethink 🤔, Redesign ✏️, Re-earth (Compost) 🌿, Reuse 🔄, Repair 🔧, Refurbish 🛠️, Remanufacture 🏭, Repurpose 🪑, Recycle ♻️, and Recover ❌. Implementing these actions can significantly reduce waste, conserve resources, and foster sustainable business models. While the list is not exhaustive, it serves as a quick and effective brainstorming and selection tool for businesses committed to sustainability. #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #ZeroWaste #BusinessDevelopment #SMEs #Innovation #EcoFriendly #SustainableBusiness #GreenBusiness https://lnkd.in/dhEWDwuc

Friends - a lot has changed since we talked about #holygrail in the last podcast both in terms of the progress the initiative has made as well as the external environment fuelling the need for such solutions Whether you have been following the progress or have no idea about what this is - it doesn't matter. the podcast will cover the background but also the latest. For my colleagues in North America, we touch upon what are the implications for the region out of learnings from Europe.

🌍 The European Circular Economy Summit 2024 is approaching on December 5-6 in Frankfurt, Germany. This event aligns perfectly with VALZEO’s mission to valorize agro-industrial wastes into zeolite-based materials for environmental remediation and biofuel production. Explore circular business models, innovative recycling technologies, and more. A great opportunity to connect with those driving the circular economy forward. --- #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #VALZEO #EnvironmentalRemediation #BiofuelProduction #ZPrime

By #2025 all #EU countries will have to ensure the proper #differentiated collection and management of #textile waste... but where do we stand? The European Environment Agency published in May this year the briefing "Management of used and waste textiles in Europe's circular economy" on this topic. In this post we analyse the most interesting data from the briefing and unveil an important novelty we are working on in Atelier Riforma: a tool that will allow each #municipality to monitor the collection of textiles on its urban soil, guaranteeing citizens that the management of what is collected is #transparent, #efficient and #ecosustainable. The objective? To direct each collected post-consumer textile to the most suitable destination (donation, resale, repair, tailoring, fibre recycling, use in other sectors, etc.), ensuring that the waste hierarchy is respected.

🌿 WACC has endorsed the #COP29 Declaration on Green Digital Action. https://lnkd.in/e4v8aY49 A key element of this important Declaration is the promotion of digital inclusion and literacy, without which those most affected by climate change will not be able to tackle the causes and potential impacts of climate change. We firmly support the call for collaboration and sharing of best practices. #DigitalJustice #DigitalInclusion #ClimateJustice #ClimateAction #CommunicationForAll

As the Nature COP kicks off in Colombia, it’s crucial that we focus on key outcomes: reforming subsidies, mobilizing effective finance, and ensuring robust measurement and monitoring of nature. If we’ve learned anything from tackling #climate and #carbon, it’s that clear definitions, strong metrics, transparency, and accountability are essential for success. Our future depends on nature, and it’s time to adopt integrated solutions that address both climate and nature challenges together. #NatureCOP #COP16 #Sustainability #ClimateAction

Here is yet another story detailing how members of voluntary corporate multi-stakeholder initiatives are failing to take meaningful climate action, despite the so-called “requirements” of membership. Without credible accountability mechanisms, these initiatives provide a safe harbor for inaction and enable companies to make sustainability claims without investing the resources to substantiate them. If companies do not even set the targets that they've promised to set under the Fashion Pact or other initiatives such as the UN Fashion Charter, can we expect them to be held accountable for actually meeting those targets? It's time for companies to stop hiding behind the industry's collective inertia and take bold steps to lead the pack. Their future business depends on it.

Natura launched today it’s Mission 2050 document at COP29 during a panel entitled “Regeneration: Aligning Business Strategy with Systemic Positive Outcomes for People, Nature & Society” you can request a copy here: https://lnkd.in/dyF2r29T We are delighted that Malkia J., the Business Fights Poverty COP29 Youth Ambassador, participated in the panel and we would encourage other businesses and business networks to help bring youth voices to these conversations. Maria Paula Ribeiro Marques, from Youth4Nature, asked an important question “When we have youth in conferences, youth pushes for more ambitions outcomes, we need more diverse boards, how can we include youth?” Angela Pinhati, Chief Sustainability Officer, Natura responded “To have Malkia here is really nice.  We need to bring to the table different perspectives… it will help companies… be more prepared and resilient for the future…the way [youth] think should be this inspiration and should be the way that we drive business forward.” The session featured these speakers: 🔹Ana Beatriz Macedo da Costa, Vice President of Sustainability, Legal, Reputation and Corporate Communication - Natura 🔹Mary Johnstone-Louis - Management Practice Fellow, Oxford University, Saïd Business School 🔹John Elkington - Volans (by video) 🔹Roberto Silva Waack, Board President - Instituto Arapyau 🔹Thomas Lingard, Global Head of Sustainability (Environment) - Unilever 🔹Malkia J. COP29 Business Fights Poverty Youth Ambassador 🔹Angela Pinhati, Chief Sustainability Officer - Natura 🔹And was moderated by Sérgio Teixeira Jr. - Capital Reset Here are some key take aways from the session: 1. Integrate Regeneration into Strategy: Embed regenerative practices into business operations to restore ecosystems, reduce inequalities, and enhance resilience across your value chain. 2. Measure What Matters: Use tools like the Integrated Profit & Loss (IP&L) methodology to evaluate impacts on financial, human, social, and natural capitals, ensuring business growth aligns with positive global outcomes. 3. Collaborate for Impact: Forge partnerships across supply chains, industries, and geographies to address systemic challenges like climate change and biodiversity loss at scale. 4. Include Youth Perspectives: Engage young voices in decision-making to bring fresh ideas, innovative solutions, and unique insights into emerging global challenges. 5. Prioritise Diversity in Governance: Embrace diverse perspectives - including age, culture, and lived experiences - to effectively navigate "wicked" problems and co-create impactful solutions.

The EU had passed new packaging legislation which will help reduce business impacts on the environment. UK exporters will need to show they meet new requirements on: product durability, reusability, upgradability and reparability, evidence of the levels of substances inhibiting circularity; energy and resource efficiency; recycled content, remanufacturing and recycling; carbon and environmental footprints; and information requirements, including a Digital Product Passport. This touches all manufacturing sectors including fashion, food, and tech. The vehicle, defence, and security industries are not included. Some will say this is too much. Others will welcome it. It is a step towards a more sustainable future with human rights at its core. As we plod towards a general election, it will interesting to see how UK politicians react. #Sustainability #Circularity #Textiles #Fashion #Food #Manufacturing https://lnkd.in/gSzCUP3C

The decision by the European Parliament to endorse the Packaging and Packaging Waste regulation (#PPWR) will safeguard decades of progress towards a circular economy, says EPPA President Antonio D’Amato.   Read his statement on the EP plenary vote 👇   “Today’s result in the European Parliament is hugely significant because it reaffirms the course that the European Union has been following for over 30 years in collaboration with member countries and European enterprises. This strategic approach has built a circular economy into which billions of euros have been invested, ensuring economic growth alongside environmental sustainability, and a remarkable 33% reduction in greenhouse emissions since 1990.   The best way for Europe to continue to contribute to global emissions targets is to make its technologies, know-how, and best practices available to all the world’s nations so that they can pursue their growth objectives with full respect for environmental sustainability.   Today, the European Parliament reaffirms the fundamental principle of technological neutrality and respect for scientific evidence that has underpinned progress to date and which must continue to do so.”

Across Europe, philanthropic organisations have started engaging in impact investing, including supporting social economy actors and start-ups. However, restrictive laws often hinder these efforts. Today, Philea and Impact Europe have published recommendations for national and EU policymakers to enable more impact investments and collaboration opportunities. Launched in the European Parliament on the occasion of the European Day of Foundations and Donors, the recommendations call on policymakers to help bolster this effort by: 1. Enabling impact investing at the programme level 2. Developing a co-investment facility under the InvestEU financial programme 3. Facilitating impact investing and mission related investments at the endowment level 4. Integrating philanthropy from the start in the next Multi-Annual Financial Framework If you're interested in unleashing philanthropy’s potential, check out the full recommendations here! #October1Europe https://bit.ly/3Bnh0eS

The idea of circularity in fashion sounds promising—turning waste into resources and extending the lifecycle of textiles. But are we truly addressing the root of the problem? We broke down the Fashion for Good "Sorting for Circularity Europe" Report to uncover what’s working, what’s missing, and why current platforms aren’t solving the issue. Here are the key takeaways: 👉 Over 70% of low-value textiles could be recycled—but the infrastructure isn’t there. 👉 Platforms are fragmented, leaving gaps in transparency and collaboration. 👉 Without systemic change, circularity will remain an unfulfilled promise. Dive into the insights from the report and see how we’re addressing these challenges to create meaningful change.

Good news for the Bridge to Busan Declaration! It’ll still be an uphill battle, but hopefully this brings momentum to create a binding agreement with a cap on virgin plastic production at #INC5 in Busan, Korea in November. Find out more about the declaration, including if your country has signed on and how to petition it do them to do so if they haven’t —> https://lnkd.in/eT9XbTE3 #plasticpollution #plasticstreaty #bridgetobusan
