Circular Economy Concept in Regenerative Bioeconomy, Paper District & Textile District
let's talk about it at Ecomondo !
CIRCULAR BIOECONOMY
SOLUTIONS ARE IN NATURE
|
|
From the production of biological and marine resources to their transformation into food, feed, chemicals and fuels: in Europe, the bioeconomy generates revenue of EUR 2.5 trillion and provides 18.5 million jobs.
Bioeconomy is set to be one of the most important topics in this Ecomondo edition. We’ll talk about it with several partner as, for example ENEA, Cluster Spring, representatives of European agencies, ENI, Novamont, EU Bioeconomy Youth Ambassadors and Re Soil Foundation coordinated by the Technical Scientific Committee.
The objectives? Fostering public-private alliances and the adoption of regulatory, financial and internationalisation priorities to strengthen the European and Mediterranean regenerative bioeconomy.

ECOMONDO LAUNCHES THE PAPER DISTRICT
FOR PAPER AND CARDBOARD INDUSTRY
|
|
|
The results of the paper and cardboard industry in Italy speak for themselves: with a packaging recycling rate of 85%, above the EU’s 2030 target, and a circularity rate of 62%, it is one of the most virtuous sectors at national level and an important lever in the ecological transition.
In addition, the paper industry has been identified as a flagship sector in Next Generation EU projects, with the goal of improving collection, recovery and recycling activities and simultaneously acting on plant efficiency, redevelopment and reconditioning to strengthen of implants.
In this scenario Ecomondo is launching the Paper District in collaboration with Comieco, Unirima and Federazione Carta e Grafica. Set up in Hall B2, the Paper District brings together and engages the community by multiplying networking and business opportunities.

Many are the realities of the supply chain inside the Pavilion: from paper mills to municipalities, from certifying bodies to trading companies, from PAs to digital service companies to processors and the world of waste management.

Producing a T-shirt requires 2,700 litres of water, equal to one person's water needs for two years. To produce a pair of jeans requires 7,500 litres.
Besides being one of the pillars of the European economy, the textile industry is among the sectors with the highest environmental impact. It is responsible for 10% of global carbon emissions, consumes around 93 billion m3 of water in production alone and dumps around 500,000 tonnes of microfibres into the seas.
Against this backdrop, the key words for the industry's green conversion are garment recyclability, ecodesign, transparency and supply chain control. These inputs are welcomed by Ecomondo, which reaffirms and expands the space dedicated to the Textile District for 2023.
