Claude Holyst, Regional Agency for Environment (ARPE) during the Event
Within ECO -SCP project, the
Province of Bologna
coordinated the efforts of all
partners in outlining a “map”
of the most common policies
for sustainability in
European regions in order to
get some policy
recommendations to be
converted into concrete
policy tools.
As for the theoretical
framework, according to a
recent Schmidt-MacArthur
Fellowship study titled
“Meeting the financing needs
of circular businesses”,
investors who are aware of
circular economy business
models “all agree conceptually
that they can capture some
value from this,” but the “key
barrier so far is risk and lack of
data.” Investors are wary about
getting involved in new
business models when it is
hard to quantify the risks and
returns.
edTOOL: a new tool for Eco design products and services
During the Regional Conference
held in Barcelona on 1st October,
the edTOOL was presented. The
conference, organized by Sostenipra
research group, UAB and with the
collaboration of IAT and the Catalan
Government, was followed a training
session: 4-hour practical training
workshop on edTOOL with local
companies. Similarly, edTOOL has
also been presented in training
sessions and seminars in
Thessaloniki (Greece), Lucena
(Spain), Bilbao (Spain), Nice
(France), Madrid (Spain) and
Barcelona(Spain).
edTOOL is currently available at
http://edtool.sostenipra.cat both in
English and French. The User Guide
(English and French version too)
and the promotional video are also
available from the same webpage.

20 main policy recommendations focusing both on actors (policy makers and firms), and on actions to be implemented. There are four fields of intervention:
1. Integration and harmonization: it is not a coincidence that the first of these recommendations
stresses the necessity to foster green and circular economy.
2. awareness education and dissemination: knowledge and general awareness of environmental
and sustainability issues is the fertilizer to make production and sustainable consumption
grow
3. networking and competitiveness: networking and improving the cooperation between the
various stakeholders is the key that can open many doors
