SUMMARY:Workshop on Social Life Cycle Assessment within the SSbD Framework
DESCRIPTION:16 June 2025 | Brussels | Hybrid format \nKveloce\, one of the MAGNO project partners\, is organising a Participatory Workshop on Social LCA within the Safe and Sustainable by Design Framework\, to be held on June 16th from 12:00 to 16:30 CET in a hybrid format. \n📍 Venue: Topos EU Parliament\, Rue d’Arlon 25\, 1050 Brussels🌐 Online access: Details will be shared after registration🗓️ Registration deadline: 6 June 2025 \nThe workshop will focus on exchanging knowledge\, evidence-based methods and case studies to help build consensus around Social Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA)\, with the aim of paving the way for future developments in the Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) framework. \n\nWhat is SSbD?\nThe SSbD framework (Caldeira et al.\, 2022) was developed by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre. It is a holistic approach that ensures chemicals\, materials\, products and processes are safe for people and the environment\, and sustainable throughout their life cycle. This involves integrating safety and sustainability (environmental\, social\, and economic) considerations into the design\, production\, use\, and end-of-life stages. \nWithin this framework\, sustainability is assessed using the Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA) method\, where Social LCA is one of the three pillars. However\, S-LCA is a relatively new area of research and presents several challenges compared to environmental LCA\, such as difficulties in justifying impact pathways and lack of consistent reference scales. \n\nA Participatory Approach\nThis workshop is proposed in the context of several EU-funded projects joining forces to exchange knowledge and contribute to a joint understanding of S-LCA. It is supported by the IRISS network\, with the Joint Research Centre (JRC) expressing interest in the results and feedback gathered from the session. \nThe agenda will include the introduction of attending stakeholders and researchers\, followed by a participatory session where attendees will present their own experiences\, methodologies\, limitations\, and discuss opportunities and next steps for advancing S-LCA within the SSbD framework. \n\n🔗 To register\, click here.

SUMMARY:MAGNO at Innovation Forum 4 Plastics - Event highlights on EU innovations for plastics circularity
DESCRIPTION:Innovation Forum 4 Plastics highlights EU innovations for plastics circularity\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe 2024 edition of the “Innovation Forum 4 Plastics” was held in Brussels on 19 April\, and showcased different innovative solutions of EU-funded projects aiming at reducing plastic waste and boosting plastic recycling and circularity. \nHosted by EuRIC on behalf of the CIMPA project\, supported by the European Commission’s Research Executive Agency (REA) and as a side event of the World Circular Economy Forum (WCEF)\, the event attracted approximately 70 participants. \nSophie Sicard\, President of EuRIC’s European Plastic Recycling Branch (EPRB) said in her opening remarks: “While our industry drives innovation\, we also require innovation from the EU legislation. Achieving economic profitability in plastics recycling and circularity is the main challenge and demands political solutions.” \n\n\n\n\n \nEvdokia Achilleos\, Head of Sector “Circular and Bio-based Economy and Zero Pollution” at the European Commission’s Research and Executive Agency (REA)\, highlighted the importance of collaborations in enhancing efforts to increase plastics circularity and the role of R&I projects in achieving the EU’s green objectives.  \nThe event introduced the Circular Plastics Cluster\, a coalition of 7 EU-funded projects\, and results from partner projects CIMPA\, Circular FoodPack\, SOL-REC2\, and Merlin\, focusing on multilayer plastic recycling\, were highlighted. Additionally\, presentations on sustainable food plastic packaging were provided by recently funded projects STOPP\, MAGNO\, VISS\, and REBIOLUTION. The event also showcased project outcomes on circular technical plastics\, including PRIMUS\, Green3D\, Circular Flooring\, and PLAST2BCLEANED. \nConcluding the event was a panel discussion addressing the role of R&I projects in EU policy. Panelists Pierre Fiasse (Groupe Comet)\, Katharina Schlegel (Plastics Europe)\, Wolfgang Trunk (European Commission\, DG ENV)\, Silvia Maltagliati (European Commission\, DG RTD)\, and Olga Pozlevic (European Commission\, DG GROW) shared insights on legislative developments and challenges in advancing plastic circularity. \n\nOn the MAGNO side\, there were three important contributions from our partners\, FHF\, DNV and UOB\, made by Phil Rosenow\, Luigi Operato and Wael Hamd respectively. \n\nOn regulatory complexity\, Phil Rosenow from FHF\, states that Practical implementations of packaging solutions on the market are subject to a host of different regulations (e.g. PPWR\, SUP\, REACH\, …). The resulting regulatory jungle poses possible hindrances to companies. While large companies can support legal departments\, SMEs are affected more strongly. At the same time\, it is to be acknowledged that food packaging must be well regulated due to possible health effects. Streamlining the regulatory process may be worth investigating. \nOn regulatory barriers\, Wael Hamd from University of Balamand\, stated that plastics are chemically recycled by breaking them down into molecular building pieces that can be reused. This procedure\, also known as advanced recycling\, is different from mechanical recycling. This latter\, which is still in use\, chops up used plastic into parts that are blended into virgin plastic\, which is made from oil or natural gas\, to add recycled content. Although advanced recycling plays an important role in the general recycling scheme of plastics\, it is considered as energy extensive and pollution generating process. Thus\, the undesirable effect of chemical recycling deserves to be discussed.  \n \n\nOn technial barriers\, Luigi Operato from DNV\, said that The recyclability and environmental viability of bioplastics are heavily dependent on its base design and the choice of raw materials. Although most of the bioplastics are claimed to be biodegradable\, their complete degradability is realized under specific conditions. So\, while promoting the use of bioplastics\, the development of necessary infrastructure should also be encouraged to close the loop. \n\n\n\nPresentations\n\n\n\n\nDOWNLOAD SLIDES SESSION I “CIRCULAR PLASTICS CLUSTER”\n\nDOWNLOAD SLIDES SESSION II “FOOD PLASTIC PACKAGING”\n\n\n\n\n\nDOWNLOAD SLIDES SESSION III “TECHNICAL PLASTICS”\n\n\n\n\nComplete CIMPA Press Release and pictures here: \n\n\nhttps://cimpa-h2020.eu/innovation-forum-4-plastics-highlights-eu-innovations-for-plastics-circularity/
