This report set out to provide an independent analysis of the separate collection rate reporting in Spain for single-use polyethylene terephthalate (PET) beverage bottles of up to three litres. The study was a seven-month collaboration between Eunomia Research and Consulting and Spanish experts with a detailed knowledge of waste management [...]
Eunomia Research and Consulting were commissioned by Recycling Netwerk to review the current landscape surrounding serialised Deposit Return Systems (DRS). Classic DRS, widely implemented in Europe and beyond, involve consumers paying a nominal fee for beverage containers, later refunded upon returning the empty container to designated points, typically retail locations. [...]
Eunomia was commissioned by WWF Germany to produce a report on addressing plastic pollution by expanding reuse models to support the UN Plastics Treaty. The project detailed the necessity for increased reuse, accounting for diverse preconditions in UN member countries. This included presenting a compelling environmental case for adopting reuse, [...]
Eunomia was commissioned by the City of Hoboken, New Jersey to create their Zero Waste Plan, which evaluated current waste management practices, identified potential efficiencies, and seeks to increase diversion rates, decrease GHG emissions, and ultimately reduce costs for the City. Through waste audits, we discovered that over 21,936 tons of [...]
In 2023, Eunomia was commissioned by the Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) to perform a study to (1) develop recycling, reuse, and source reduction performance target rates for consumer packaging and paper materials; and (2) conduct a community input process to gather input from Washington residents about their views and [...]
The report ‘Managing Materials for 1.5oC: An EU Regulatory Framework for a Low Carbon Material Economy’ presents a series of recommendations designed to enable Europe to prosper while reducing the pressure we place on the planet from our consumption of materials. The study was funded by a consortium comprised of [...]
This report, commissioned by The Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) examines the potential of pyrolysis technologies, as a complement to mechanical recycling, to recycle film and flexible packaging (FFP) back into plastic resins to be remanufactured into new plastic products. The study details the opportunities for increased FFP recovery volumes, [...]
This report focuses on the ability of the EU (European Union) hydronic heat pump manufacturing sector to increase heat pump deployment in Europe. This included an assessment of the EU’s competitiveness in hydronic heat pump manufacture and identifying key supply chain challenges that might hinder growth in the future. The [...]
Plastic pollution is widely recognized as a threat to human and planetary health. There is a high level of public awareness and policymakers are increasingly using legislation to limit the production and use of plastic, with a significant focus on single-use products. Such increased recognition and legislation is creating a [...]
Eunomia Research & Consulting and Mepex Consult AS were commissioned by the Nordic Working Group for Circular Economy to carry out a study on production and recycling of batteries used in electrical vehicles (EVs) with a focus on the Nordic region. The study sought to contribute to building knowledge around [...]
