As the EU strengthens its commitment to a sustainable, competitive, and nature-positive bioeconomy, CircSyst plays a pivotal role in positioning circular economy solutions at the forefront of industrial and societal transformation. Through its leadership and coordination, AIJU has actively participated in several key events, fostering dialogue, innovation, and action around circular solutions.

These efforts align with the strategic European framework for bioeconomy and sustainability, establishing CircSyst as the leader in the development and implementation of circular practices.

Eco Chemical Solutions Framework                                                                                                                                          (Date: 11/11/2025, Location: Feria Valencia)

At this event, Phd. Ana Ibáñez addressed the challenges involved in processing recycled materials, specifically biowaste and multilayered PET. Key discussion points included the technical limitations of material extraction, sorting processes, and market acceptance. Phd. Ibáñez emphasized CircSyst’s role in tackling these challenges, especially in the valorisation of waste and the development of innovative, scalable solutions for sustainable waste management. This aligns with EU’s bioeconomy goals, focusing on material recovery, sustainability, and reducing environmental impact.

ECOFIRA Roundtable: “The Path Towards Sustainability: Environmental Solutions for Industry and Society” (Date:11/11/2025, Location: Feria Valencia)

Held alongside the EFIAQUA fair, the ECOFIRA roundtable gathered regional governments, enterprises, and public administrations to discuss sustainability strategies and emerging EU regulations. Key topics included Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and the upcoming EU Circular Economy Directive, which emphasizes resource efficiency and waste reduction. AIJU’s participation underscored its role in guiding industries toward circular practices and influencing EU legislation. These discussions were crucial for CircSyst, which is already contributing to innovative solutions in plastic recycling and water circularity.

“European Measures to Build More Sustainable Businesses and Territories”                                                                   (Date: 19th November, Location: AIJU)
