  1. TURAS WP6 Short Circuit Economies Progress update Dublin, 23 April 2013, Patrick Van Den Abeele Griet Van Kelecom WP6 : Short Circuit Economies

  2. WP6 overall objective • Exploring business activities that can make our urban economies more resilient : • No impact on the environment • Respond to local communities needs • Contribute to local economic development WP6 : Short Circuit Economies

  3. WP6 : WORKING SCHEDULE D6.7 WP6 : Short Circuit Economies

  4. DELIVERABLE D6.7 ECODESIGN AND CLEANTECHS WP6 : Short Circuit Economies

  5. Deliverable D.6.7 - Ecodesign part

  6. Methodology for the Ecodesign part • Existing Belgian policy instruments review • Benchmark • Generation of new innovative instruments • 2 Workshops • Culture and art industry in Brussels • Social entrepreneurs • Final Output • Framework for mainstreaming Ecodesign at urban level • 3 specific recommendations to support Ecodesign WP6 : Short Circuit Economies

  7. Framework for Ecodesign in the urban ecosystem (1) Three building blocks =>Urban eco-system backed by a variety of actors to create “shared value” WP6 : Short Circuit Economies

  8. Framework for Ecodesign in the urban ecosystem (2) DEFRA 4E model WP6 : Short Circuit Economies

  9. Recommendations 1 : Social impact bonds • Fostering result-driven innovation by incentivizing Ecodesign innovators to come up with ideas to cope with a defined urban challenge. • E.g. launching of a “Pampers Impact Bond” with the objectives to decrease the amount of nappies in households waste by 50%. WP6 : Short Circuit Economies

  10. Recommendations 2 : C2C Material bank • Centre C2C material bank (sector specific) • Give advises on the use of material and available solutions • Organise collective purchase of alternative and ecological materials • Provide knowledge-based recommendations at regional level WP6 : Short Circuit Economies

  11. Recommendations 3 : Brussels Smart Network • Challenge/results driven network grounded on urban challenges for resilience and bringing together different types of stakeholders • E.g. how can we limit the food chain in Brussels to three steps between the producer and the consumer? WP6 : Short Circuit Economies

  12. Summary of the recommendations : Multistakeholder urban laboratories WP6 : Short Circuit Economies

  13. Deliverable D6.7 - Cleantech part

  14. Methodology for the Cleantech part • Existing London policy instruments review • Benchmark with Denmark and Sweden • List of supportive measures • Final output : • Tool to support local Cleantech transition WP6 : Short Circuit Economies

  15. List of supportive instruments • Pigouvian taxes and subsidies • Clean tech installation subsidy and loans • Recycling Tax-subsidy • Permits and licenses • Tradable pollution permits • Banning substances / technologies • Certification • Exhibitions • Knowledge exchange, exhibitions, … • Urban design • … WP6 : Short Circuit Economies

  16. Tool to support general Cleantech adoption WP6 : Short Circuit Economies

  17. T6.3 - Research on the Product Service Systems approach

  18. Product Service Systems • Definition • Innovation strategy, shifting the business focus from designing (and selling) physical products only, to designing (and selling) a system of products and services which are jointly capable of fulfilling specific client demands (Manzini, 2003) • Objectives • Generate new ideas of PSS applications • Propose innovative instruments for local authorities to support Product Service System development WP6 : Short Circuit Economies

  19. Product Service Systems • Progress • Benchmark on supportive instruments started • Database of inspiring examples created • Workshops topics selected of the PSS ideation WP6 : Short Circuit Economies

  20. Creation of a database of inspiring examples WP6 : Short Circuit Economies

  21. Ideation workshops • 8 workshops topicsformulatedaroundspecificurbanneeds • 5 topicsselectedthroughRegionalGovernment feedback • Neighbourhood collaborative services (e.g. public toollibraries) • Urbansustainablefood (e.g. transformation of unsoldproducts business) • Optimization of urbanspace use (e.g. Jim urbanfarming, Be park) • Urbaneco-logistic (e.g. Trivizor) • Exemplary building (pay-per-lux, pay for thermal confort, …) WP6 : Short Circuit Economies

  22. Product Service Systems • Next Steps • Ideation workshops • Specific instruments recommendations for the Brussels Region • Communication strategy • Workshop on favourable public procurement • Research on favourabletax system • Replicable model for supportive strategy at urban/region level and generation of new PSS application ideas WP6 : Short Circuit Economies

  23. TASK T6.4 - Support programmes for ‘localised’ business sectors such as creative industry or specific geographical areas

  24. Creative and cultural industries (CCI) • Objective • Proposing guidelines for a territory to give value to its specific own resources - building territorial regeneration through developing CCI Milano / ZonaTortona WP6 : Short Circuit Economies

  25. Creative and cultural industries (CCI) • Progress • Pilot project: The Solfatara of Manziana • Benchmark of Good practices at European level through cooperation with organization Federculture • Territorial regeneration experience lab : workshop of cultural planning/design through participative approach organized in the Manziana wood WP6 : Short Circuit Economies

  26. Pilot project - The Solfatara of Manziana • Case study - conversion of an old industrial plant “The Solfatara of Manziana” into an incubator for CCI

  27. Creative and cultural industries (CCI) • Progress • Pilot project: The Solfatara of Manziana • Benchmark of Good practices at European level through cooperation with organization Federculture • Territorial regeneration experience lab : workshop of cultural planning/design through participative approach organized in the Manziana wood WP6 : Short Circuit Economies

  28. Creative and cultural industries (CCI) • Next steps • Build a model for conversion to be approved by the Local council • Test the model • Develop a replicable transition framework for other regions (Southern Europe?) WP6 : Short Circuit Economies

  29. TASK T6.5 - Support programmes for green businesses

  30. Green Business • Objective • Proposing a model for supporting the development of local ‘green’ business/eco-SMEs (focus of on the development of a local agriculture industry) Bracciano, Roma WP6 : Short Circuit Economies

  31. Green Business • Progress • Pilot project defined : I-Agri • Geographic Area identified: Bracciano WP6 : Short Circuit Economies

  32. Pilot project – I-Agri • Physical incubator (30 hectares of high productive lands) specialized in agro food sector businesses • Goal : • Use lands for eco-business instead of construction • Promote short circuit economy development

  33. Green Business • Next steps • Sign of the Agreement between the stakeholders of the area • Start of the pilot project • Present the project at the Eataly Store and discuss eventual collaboration around distribution of products coming from I-Agri • Build a replicable model for other regions to build economic resilience through the use of lands for local agriculture WP6 : Short Circuit Economies

  34. T6.6 - Development of a Rating system

  35. Rating System • Objective • Elaborate a rating system and an evaluation framework for sustainable business practice. • Progress • Milestone MS34 completed • Research on sustainability evaluation mechanisms • First draft model of iteration rating system developed WP6 : Short Circuit Economies

  36. First Iteration Rating Criteria to be elaborated in relation to existing schemes and ability to include local requirements WP6 : Short Circuit Economies

  37. Rating System • Goals for the rating system • Easy to use by suppliers and customers • Inclusive – no company too small • Recognises and rates multiple aspects of sustainability • Rooted in local development needs and priorities • Built with stakeholder involvement and feedback • Can be plugged into online market / procurement tools • Next steps • Integrate the local challenge in the rating system • Test and refine the rating system WP6 : Short Circuit Economies

  38. T6.8 - Development of an Interactive market online WP6 : Short Circuit Economies

  39. Interactive market online • Objective • Development of a neighbourhood marketplace web platform. • Transfer of Seville’s budget to the remaining WP6 partners • UEL(3P-M): content of platform (rating system), follow-up first test + Brussels and Rome, refine the platform, report on results • LBBD, BICLAZIO, BRUSSELS EN. (3P-M each): integrate the rating system to an existing local market online (IT dep.?) WP6 : Short Circuit Economies
