Green Swans countering chemical pollution : How can the science on chemical pollution be best developed and translated towards effective utility? KREATiS is delighted to announce the publication of its last publication doing within the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) group on Safe & Sustainable by design. It is our responsability to take part in the challenge we meet facing a triple planetary crisis, covering interactive effects of climate change, biodiversity loss, and increasing pollution. The Green Swan metaphor has been coined by John Elkington to define desirable solutions to unsustainable situations. Looking at chemical pollution through the lenses of the Green Swan and the application-oriented approaches to scientific roadmapping brought exciting ideas on the subject. 👉 The full article is available here : https://lnkd.in/egjxNwd8

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Working on the impact assessment and revision of the #UWWTD was one of the first projects four years ago that I got to work on at Trinomics. The Directive is one of the longest-standing European legislative instruments for protecting water and nature, dating back to 1991 🕰️ However for around 30 years this Directive hadn’t undergone a major evaluation or revision—despite significant advances in science, technology, and environmental needs over the past three decades. Seeing this recast approved is a great step forward, acknowledging the evolving challenges and solutions in water management and environmental protection ✨

French Observatory of Access Conditions to the Ecological Transition, 2024 edition ▶️ Objective: to track the evolution of access conditions to the transition for French households  ▶️ The ecological transition can only happen if all households have access to solutions. The issue of access to transition solutions is therefore crucial for climate policies.  ❓ Where do we stand today in France? Do all households have access to the ecological transition? What about low- and middle-income households?  👉 Read the report by Charlotte Vailles and Sirine Ousaci from #I4CE https://lnkd.in/ePQZ8e9k #EcologicalTransition #PublicFinance #Investments

🇪🇺 The EU has committed itself to cutting our GHG emissions by 55% by 2030 and reaching carbon neutrality in 2050. And #climate is not the only thing we need to preserve. Our #resources are also at stake! We need to change in depth our way of producing and doing business ➡️ This requires massive changes, at every level and in each industry. 🚗 Transportation, and more precisely, the #automotive industry is under the spotlight. We are all aware of the importance of electrifying our vehicle fleet (climate perspective). From a resources perspective, we need to foster the #CircularEconomy and boost the use of #recycled materials. ♻️ But, as with every change, this transformation requires energy and support to be launched. This is why we need an ambitious #regulatory framework to promote the use of recycled materials and namely #recycled #plastics. 📜 At Veolia, we strongly support the European End-of-Life Vehicles Regulation ((#ELVR) that sets ambitious targets, as among: 25% of recycled plastics in all new vehicles put on the market. 🚀 It is not only desirable, it is technical feasible, today! The Veolia teams have been working for years to be able to provide to our clients high quality recycled plastics, for #automotive applications. 💡 PS: by incorporating recycled plastics in automotive, we both answer the resource and climate issue >> recycled plastics emits from 70 to 95% less GHG than virgin!!! (one stone, two birds...) Join us to support the ELV regulation and maintain ambitious, but necessary, targets! ♻️ 🚗 🇪🇺 #circulareconomy #regulation #ELV #GreenUp #SustainableAutomotive

Febelauto invited Aurel Ciobanu-Dordea 🇪🇺, Director of Circular Economy at the European Commission, to its stand at the International Automotive Recycling Congress (IARC – ICM AG) in Antwerp. The European DG was welcomed by Catherine Lenaerts and Henry Wattel of Febelauto and 15 representatives of the other European management organisations responsible for recycling end-of-life vehicles. The 16 PROs or alike organisations handed over a manifesto containing 20 suggestions and warnings to ensure that the new European proposal for the regulation of end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) benefits both the European recycling sector and the EU’s wider environmental goals. Febelauto will also deliver a sympathetic car wreck to the European Commission written all over with IARC Congress participants' personal views on the proposed ELV regulation. We hope the European Commission will take our concerns to heart and positively consider our proposals. A big thank you to Janet Kes, Paul Dietz, Thorsten Friedrich, Fiacra Quinn, Elena Wrelton, Marta Witkowska, Jakob Kristensen, José Amaral, Guro K. Milli-Solheim, Pia Kleihs, Juha Kenraali, Jaco Huisman, Marco Di Vaio, Manuel Kindelan for the support! #IARC2024 #CarRecycling #ELVProposal #CircularEconomy #StongerTogether
