TURAS WP6 Short Circuit Economies Progress update Dublin, 23 April 2013, Patrick Van Den Abeele Griet Van Kelecom WP6 : Short Circuit Economies
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
WP6 : WORKING SCHEDULE D6.7 WP6 : Short Circuit Economies
DELIVERABLE D6.7 ECODESIGN AND CLEANTECHS WP6 : Short Circuit Economies
Deliverable D.6.7 - Ecodesign part
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
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
Framework for Ecodesign in the urban ecosystem (2) DEFRA 4E model WP6 : Short Circuit Economies
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
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
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
Summary of the recommendations : Multistakeholder urban laboratories WP6 : Short Circuit Economies
Deliverable D6.7 - Cleantech part
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
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
Tool to support general Cleantech adoption WP6 : Short Circuit Economies
T6.3 - Research on the Product Service Systems approach
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
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
Creation of a database of inspiring examples WP6 : Short Circuit Economies
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
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
TASK T6.4 - Support programmes for ‘localised’ business sectors such as creative industry or specific geographical areas
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
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
Pilot project - The Solfatara of Manziana • Case study - conversion of an old industrial plant “The Solfatara of Manziana” into an incubator for CCI
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
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
TASK T6.5 - Support programmes for green businesses
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
