FRONTSH1P systemic approach will be enabled by a circular governance model that connects environmental policies with social justice through just transition ensuring environmental sustainability, jobs and social inclusion. The flexibility and modularity of the four CSSs guarantee a high replicability and scalability to other territories across Europe and beyond and this will be demonstrated with the involvement of four additional Regions across EU. This report – Deliverable 2.2 (D2.2) is the result of the work carried out under the Work Package 2 - Regional Systemic Circular Economic Approach, Task 2.2. - Regional Circularity Booster Toolkit. D2.2 meets the FRONTSH1P key enabler and requirement, presents the initial approach of the digital platform creation and methodology for data collection and sharing scheme elaboration. The EU General Data Protection Regulation and open data compliant frameworks have been addressed in D2.2 too.
- Product-Service development for circular economy and sustainability coursePublication . Sousa Rocha, Cristina; Camocho, David; Sampaio, João; Alexandre, JorgeABSTRACT: This book is an output of the ERASMUS+ KATCH_e project. KATCH_e stands for “Knowledge Alliance on Product-Service Development towards Circular Economy and Sustainability in Higher Education”. This was a 3-year project (2017-2019), aiming to address the challenge of reinforcing skills and competences in Higher Education and within the business community, in the field of product-service development for the circular economy and sustainability, with a particular focus on the construction and furniture sectors.
- Education for zero waste and circular economy sector in EuropePublication . Glavic, Peter; Szilagyi, Aida; Karouti, Isavella; Kostoulas, Achilleas; Hernaez, Oihana; Dolinsky, Martin; Schonfelder, Thomas; Ruzicka, Pavel; Stawecka, Gosia; Karadimas, Dimitrios; Sousa Rocha, Cristina; Camocho, David; Ziberna, Bojana; Atin, Eugenia; Hammerl, Barbara; Schnitzer, HansABSTRACT: The Erasmus+ project Education for Zero Waste and Circular Economy started in 2018 to fill a gap in Vocational Education and Training, create a new training course and develop interdisciplinary skills needed for new jobs. The consortium of ten partners from nine European countries intends to produce an interactive platform, comprising a Knowledge Hub, an Online Course and a Diagnosis Tool. One of the first activities of the consortium was to analyse the stateof-the-art in zero waste and circular economy in partner countries. The employment situation was considered, along with experience, qualifications and skills needed for trainees. An overview of the existing training was carried out, including educational methods, types of training organizations, duration of activities, and teachers’ and trainers’ qualifications. Basic information on the existing curricula and certification processes was reviewed. A special section was devoted to good practices. Links and references have been collected for each partner state.
- Innovation and ecodesign in ceramic industry: an overview of knowledge needs in Portugal, Spain and GreecPublication .

- Pressure cooker under pressure: implementation of life cycle strategies and tools in a medium sized industry in PortugalPublication . Sousa Rocha, Cristina; Alexandre, Jorge; Camocho, David; Martins, PauloThis paper concerns the application of a set of life cycle oriented strategies and tools to a pressure cooker manufactured by a medium size company located in Portugal and targeting the international market. The life cycle assessment (LCA) indicated the major environmental problems of this product, which together with the company strategy of appealing the consumer through a 100% recyclable and more ergonomic product, provided the direction for the product and market development. Besides the LCA, an ecodesign project was carried out for a reference pressure cooker and through the use of several tools, including ecodesign checklists co-developed by LNEG in a previous project, a number of improvement options was generated, leading to the reduction and substitution of raw materials consumption, improved recyclability, better ergonomic features, more eco-friendly packaging and improved user interaction. A simplified environmental product declaration for the reference product was elaborated, in the framework of the EU Stepwise EPD project, and its marketing asset was evaluated through different communication methods, including phone meetings, website feedback, mailing lists and direct communication with customers in business fairs. This paper presents the results of this project and the characteristics of the improved product, and reflects upon the use of different life cycle-related strategies and tools in an integrated way; thus, this case study contributes to the understanding of the pros and cons of implementing life cycle strategies and tools in businesses.
- Panorama das estratégias de circularidade na energia eólica e solar fotovoltaica em PortugalPublication . Simões, Teresa; Sousa Rocha, Cristina; Jordao, Cristine; Camocho, David; Alexandre, JorgeRESMO: Na versão revista em junho de 2023 do Plano Nacional de Energia e Clima, as perspectivas de evolução da capacidade instalada para a produção de electricidade através das tecnologias eólica e solar fotovoltaica no horizonte 2030 são as seguintes: Eólica: 124 GW (dos quais 104 GW onshore e 2 GW offshore); Solar Fotovoltaica (PV): 204 GW (dos quais, 142 GW serão centralizados e 55 GW descentralizados. Estes valores correpondem a um cenário associado a um aumento muito significativo na procura de energia resultante de diversos projetos insdustriais verdes, e outros, previstos serem iplementados em Portugal na presente década.
