INTRODUCTIONHave you ever been skeptical about a green logo? This one won't help you much; it's a gem in its own right!Luckily, we have Anne-Laure to clear things up, in just a few minutes, what you need to remember about it! Little hints: it has something to do with the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR, formerly PPWD, for Directive).The “Green Dot” is the 5th audio clip of the “Certifications Spotlight: Truths and Traps” series. This episode is very short and incisive. However, like the others, it unravels the mysteries behind one of the logos you find on the packaging. Let's equip you with knowledge and critical thinking to decipher:its meaning,its application,its grey areas,and its pros and cons.Spoiler alert: Anne-Laure will be back for the next two episodes, where we'll dive into the Triman logo and the Möbius logo, one after the other!HERE ARE THE RECOMMENDED RESOURCES The European Directive 94/62/EC: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document/EPRS_BRI(2022)734698EPR organisms mentioned:in France, there are 2 organisms: Leko and Citeo.in Quebec, you have Éco Entreprises Québec and, in the rest of Canada, you will find Multi-Material Stewardship Western or Circular Materials.WHERE TO FIND ANNE-LAURE BULLIFFON?Her LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/albulliffon/Albumine, in France: https://albumine.fr/Profil'Pack, in Canada: https://profilpackaging.com/ABOUT ANNE-LAURE BULLIFFON FROM ALBUMINEAs an entrepreneur committed to  ecological change, Anne-Laure founded PROFIL'PACK in Montreal in 2013  and ALBUMINE in Chambéry, France, in 2020.On both sides of the Atlantic, the two  agencies share a common mission: to enable food and cosmetics  manufacturers to rethink their packaging systems in order to include  their products in the virtuous circle of the circular economy, to reduce  waste and ecological impacts.Thanks to of her dual Franco-Quebec  culture, she is keen to put her expertise and network of  multidisciplinary collaborators in Canada and France to good use by  creating a bridge of resources and innovation between the two countries.  Anne-Laure is convinced that collective intelligence and access to  innovation are the keys to a successful ecological transition.Anne-Laure graduated from ESIREIMS in  2005 with a master's degree in packaging engineering. She specialized in  change management and environmental diagnostic tools (LCA, carbon  footprint,...) and circular economy at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure  des Arts & Métiers in 2020.PODCAST MUSICSpecial thanks to Joachim Regout who made the jingle. Have a look at his work here. I am happy to bring a sample of our strong bonds on these sound waves. Since I was a child, he made me discover a wide range of music of all kinds. I am also delighted he is a nature lover and shares the Look4Loops 'out of the box philosophy'. He is an inspiring source of creativity for me.

Hvis Green Claims direktivet bliver godkendt af EU, bliver det noget af en gamechanger, siger Simon Gjern Pedersen, advokat hos Partrade Legal. Simon sidder i den varme stol hos Steffen Max Høgh i dag og taler både om Green Claims og flere af de opsigtsvækkende sager, der har været på det sidste med f.eks. Danish Crown, Arla, Apple og Mercedes. Green Claims direktivet betyder, at der fremover vil blive stillet krav til virksomheders kommunikation af grønne påstande og dokumentation for det de siger. Hver eneste gang en virksomhed kommer med et Green Claim – altså kommunikation om et bæredygtigt tiltag – så skal den samtidig stille dokumentation til rådighed, så forbrugerne kan læse mere om påstanden. Og det skal vel at mærke ske på et let forståeligt sprog. Du kan høre om: • Hvordan Green Claims direktivet stiller nogle mere håndgribelige krav til virksomheders dokumentation for deres grønne påstande • Hvad Green Claims direktivet kan komme til at betyde for virksomheder og for medarbejdere som skal tale med kunderne • Hvorvidt jurister fremover skal på efteruddannelse, ligesom revisorerne skal • Nogle af de spændende og opsigtsvækkende sager fra den seneste tid - Danish Crown, Arla-sagen, Apple og Mercedes • Immaterielle rettigheder og hvordan det hænger sammen med Green Claims Nævnt i episoden: • Patrade: https://www.patrade.dk/ • Simon Gjern Pedersen på LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/simon-gjern-pedersen-25953a107/ • Immaterielle rettigheder (IPR) https://www.patrade.dk/ip-highlighter/ • Green Claims direktivet: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/BRIE/2023/753958/EPRS_BRI(2023)753958_EN.pdf • Læs om Green Claims hos Patrade: https://www.patrade.dk/viden/hvad-kommer-green-claims-direktivet-til-at-betyde-for-danske-virksomheder/ • Forbrugerombudsmandens kvikguide til virksomheder om markedsføring: https://www.forbrugerombudsmanden.dk/media/56731/kvikguide-om-miljoemarkedsfoering.pdf • Danak: https://danak.dk/ Tips, idéer eller ønsker?

Automate every step in your product creation proces so you can focus on real creativity. Every step along the way of creating a piece of code and eventually an integrated product can be automated. The creation of the (embedded) code itself is the creative part but all the rest: let's automate! Together with Richard van de Laarschot (chief solution architect quality assurance at Capgemini Engineering) we explore how smart we can make hyper automation. A good message: Be aware not to fall in the bias trap that with a hyper automated production pipeline we find out that the developer working on the most complex parts is responsible for the most defects. The two tech topics for this episode are: Extreme water recycling: https://www.wired.com/story/are-you-ready-for-extreme-water-recycling/ European Union Artificial Intelligence Act: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document/EPRS_BRI(2021)698792 

For hundreds of years, man has been the greatest destroyer of the planet. As the highest being on the food chain, our impact on the environment is the greatest contributor to the loss of species worldwide. Breeding grounds are being destroyed and access to resources is diminishing due to industrial and residential development, logging, crop farming, livestock grazing, mining, road and dam building and pesticide use. All of this in the name of progress. This topic is one that really hits me where I live. Nothing angers me more than a chemical spill that kills countless animals and has long lasting effects on their habitats. I'm going to talk about three instances where greed, human error and indifference caused permanent damage to huge swaths of land and ocean. I'm going to talk about the Exxon Valdez oil spill, the Chernobyl nuclear incident and the Palestine, Ohio train derailment. These aren't the only three chemical spills that have ruined countless miles of habitat and cost thousands of animals their lives, but these are hallmarks of what can happen when companies and their employees cut corners and refuse to follow the rules.

Jaký příběh stojí za vznikem eura? Jak vypadá to-do list, který dostanete před jeho přijetím? A kdo při přechodu na společnou měnu nejvíc tratí a získává? Podíváme se na krize, ze kterých euro vzešlo, i na ty, kterým čelilo po svém vzniku. Také nadzvedneme pokličku centrálního bankovnictví a zamyslíme se nad tím, proč se část východní Evropy euru stále vyhýbá. Který evropský úředník tak jako Blade Runner viděl věci, kterým byste nikdy nevěřili? Měly by centrální banky "zezelenat"? A za co doopravdy může George Soros?

Nordkorea ist dabei, die Chinesen und die Russen sowieso. Die Rede ist von Cyber-Operationen via Software Supply Chains, also Softwarelieferketten. Eine Organisation wird nicht über ihre eigene Infrastruktur angegriffen, sondern über eine Kompromittierung eines externen Dienstleisters, von dem sie abhängig ist. Eine Software Supply Chain kann zum Beispiel Managed Service Provider umfassen, die z.B. Netzwerke für Unternehmen managen oder Mobile Device Management Dienste bereitstellen. Aber auch Angriffe auf Update-Verteilungsmechanismen gehören zu Software Supply Chain Risiken. Die sind eine besondere Herausforderung, weil Verteidigung dagegen schwer ist.

In this episode, we'll focus on one organisation that has become a pillar of the modern European security order: the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, or OSCE. The OSCE lacks the legal powers and the resources needed to live up to its ambition of becoming a platform for pan-European/trans-Atlantic cooperation. But OSCE agreements, such as the Vienna Document, help to promote military transparency, and election observation missions have advanced democratic reforms in several countries. http://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document.html?reference=EPRS_BRI(2021)696190 https://youtu.be/Ux-MUyB_jzs Source: © European Union - EP

In the European Union, 78 % of native flora and 84 % of crops are either partially or fully dependent on insects for pollination. But significant pollinator loss has been documented over time across the EU. According to the European Red List of Bees, around 9 % of all bee species are threatened in the EU. In this episode, we'll talk about the key role pollinators play in nature, the threats they face and EU action to protect them. http://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document.html?reference=EPRS_BRI(2021)696175 https://youtu.be/igbDomuXBUA Source: © European Union - EP

In May 2020, the European Commission published its 'farm to fork' strategy – 'for a fair, healthy and environmentally friendly food system' – along with the EU biodiversity strategy, as part of the implementation of the European Green Deal. In those strategies the Commission set a target of 25 % of the EU's agricultural land to be under organic farming by 2030, as well as a significant increase in organic aquaculture. In this podcast, we'll decorticate the Commission's new plan to promote organic production in Europe. http://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document.html?reference=EPRS_BRI(2021)696182 https://youtu.be/Reeud7jtG7I Source: © European Union - EP

Initial coin offerings (ICOs) are a relatively new method of raising capital for early-stage ventures. They constitute an alternative to more traditional sources of start-up funding such as venture capital and angel finance.This episode explains how ICOs work, looks at potential benefits and challenges, and analyses the regulatory responses they've been met with. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document.html?reference=EPRS_BRI(2021)696167 https://youtu.be/F-7gNAWbo9g Source: © European Union - EP

Even if the numbers of both young children in early childhood education and of graduates rose in recent years, the number of underachieving 15 year-olds remains high and the participation of adults in learning is low. The European Commission, the Council of the EU and the European Parliament seem to concur that cooperation in education and training needs to be reinforced. http://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document.html?reference=EPRS_BRI(2021)690630 https://youtu.be/6dO5mpFUdD4 Source: © European Union - EP

The Covid-19 pandemic has brought new challenges for victims, as well as amplifying the vulnerabilities of those most at risk. Traffickers – like legal businesses – moved to digital modi operandi, making victims even less visible and less able to ask for help and protection. But what is the EU doing about it? Listen to our podcast to learn more! http://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document.html?reference=EPRS_BRI(2021)690616 https://youtu.be/eZn2OFFMtQ0 Source: © European Union - EP

While many of the operations and missions the EU supports have military and defence implications, the EU cannot finance activities with military or defence implications from the EU budget. EU Member States therefore have mechanisms to fund expenditure with military and defence implications directly from national budgets. A new one is the European Peace Facility, an off-budget fund with a financial ceiling of €5.692 billion financed by Member State contributions. Learn more about it in our podcast! http://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document.html?reference=EPRS_BRI(2021)690641 https://youtu.be/Ew7H3-KLSwg Source: © European Union - EP

Over the past two decades, the European Union (EU) has been entrusted with a growing number of objectives and responsibilities. However, ensuring financing of related activities through the EU budget has often proven problematic, as this has long been capped at around 1 % of the Union's gross national income (GNI). During the preparation of the post-2020 EU multiannual financial framework (MFF), climate action, migration and border management were identified among the emerging priorities that required increased joint action and funding. http://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document.html?reference=EPRS_BRI(2021)690586 https://youtu.be/URWEBGtfF0I Source: © European Union - EP

In December 2020, the European Commission published a proposal for a regulation on contestable and fair markets in the digital sector, otherwise referred to as the digital markets act (DMA). The proposed legislation lays down harmonised rules aimed at regulating the behaviour of digital platforms acting as gatekeepers between business users and their customers in the European Union. This approach entails a shift from ex-post anti-trust intervention to ex-ante regulation, and would enshrine within EU law a set of ex-ante rules that would radically change how large digital platforms are allowed to operate in the EU. While there seems to be strong support for this approach in the EU, a number of issues regarding the designation of gatekeepers, the design of ex-ante obligations and prohibitions, and enforcement mechanisms have already been raised. http://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document.html?reference=EPRS_BRI(2021)690589 https://youtu.be/1p6vZsVQP6o Source: © European Union - EP

The social pillar is to be the fifth pillar of the economic and monetary union. It is to serve as a compass for updating the EU's welfare states and labour markets to the new realities of life and work in the 21st century. At the Porto Social Summit held on 7-8 May 2021, European leaders and stakeholders reaffirmed their pledge to work towards a social Europe that leaves no one behind, prioritising support for young people and focusing on reducing inequalities, defending fair wages, fighting social exclusion and tackling poverty. http://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document.html?reference=EPRS_BRI(2021)690591 https://youtu.be/5YzTIBlSKDI Source: © European Union - EP

In its Europe's Beating Cancer plan, published in February 2021, the European Commission suggests several actions concerning alcoholic beverages. One of them is mandatory labelling of ingredients and nutrient content on alcoholic beverages by the end of 2022. Health warnings on labels should follow by the end of 2023. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document.html?reference=EPRS_BRI(2021)690563 https://youtu.be/Qlzyp6QiUyA Source: © European Union - EP

The challenges posed by migration have put EU Member States' solidarity to the test. Responding to a European Council request, in September 2020 the European Commission proposed a new pact on migration and asylum. The proposed pact has an external aspect: it aims to reinforce international partnerships with a view to ensuring effective returns, combating migrant smuggling more effectively, and developing legal migration channels. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document.html?reference=EPRS_BRI(2021)690535 https://youtu.be/ILZlpokWyxM Source: © European Union - EP

Coronavirus has accelerated the rise of digital health, a broad concept that includes solutions for telemedicine and teleconsultation, remote monitoring, connected devices, digital health platforms and health apps. The concept also covers the related health data analysis and application in systems based on big data, for instance for epidemiological research and AI-enabled diagnosis support. Nevertheless, there are many challenges to overcome: a widening 'digital divide', data protection, privacy, etc. But what can the EU do about it?

Serbia and Kosovo have both declared their intention to join the EU. However, despite some initial successes, such as the Brussels Agreement of 2013, the dialogue facilitated by the EU and initiated in 2011 has stalled. The reasons for the very limited results are multiple, ranging from the internal political situation in both countries, to ambiguous and asymmetrical expectations of the normalisation agreement. Currently, the most sensitive issue, the setting-up of the association/community of Serbian municipalities in Kosovo, agreed in 2013, shows that the challenges are rooted deeply in history and have a much broader regional context. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document.html?reference=EPRS_BRI(2021)689371 https://youtu.be/VAfRu0DlMks Source: © European Union - EP

What is a smart village? The concept implies the participation of local people in improving their economic, social or environmental conditions, cooperation with other communities, social innovation and the development of smart village strategies. This concept is gaining traction on the rural development agenda, coinciding with the ongoing reform of the common agricultural policy (CAP). A key element of this reform will be a new delivery model based on each Member State developing a CAP strategic plan. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document.html?reference=EPRS_BRI(2021)689349 https://youtu.be/5LL7seLyMTM Source: © European Union - EP

Racial and ethnic minorities face discrimination and its consequences on a daily basis. The exact scale of the problem is hard to gauge owing to a lack of data and general under-reporting of racist incidents. The pandemic has seen a major increase in reports of racist and xenophobic incidents, however, while racial and ethnic minority groups have been disproportionately affected by the crisis, with higher death and infection rates. Although since 2000 the European Union has introduced legislation to combat racial and xenophobic discrimination, the problem persists, with the need for new measures recently highlighted by the global Black Lives Matter protests. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document.html?reference=EPRS_BRI(2021)690525 https://youtu.be/hEr0w6t_cwc Source: © European Union - EP

The arrival of the Covid-19 vaccines marks a turning point in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. According to estimates, coverage of at least 60 % to 75 % is needed to establish population immunity through vaccination. But, as regards Covid-19 vaccination, surveys suggest that Europeans are among the most sceptical in the world. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document.html?reference=EPRS_BRI(2021)679063 https://youtu.be/Twavrn0NucU Source: © European Union - EP

The dramatic consequences of climate change and environmental degradation have brought the need for a more sustainable economy to the top of the agenda. Transforming the EU economy to make it more sustainable requires large investments, especially for enabling a green and low-carbon transition. Given that the public sector alone cannot cover this financial need, solutions have been sought to bring the private sector on board. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document.html?reference=EPRS_BRI(2021)679081 https://youtu.be/VUrVv9Ud-7o Source: © European Union - EP

In her first State of the Union speech, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called for the use of qualified majority voting (QMV) in areas such as sanctions and human rights. The crises and security challenges accumulating in and around the European Union have added to the urgency of having a more effective and rapid decision-making process in areas pertaining to the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) and Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP). https://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document.html?reference=EPRS_BRI(2021)659451 https://youtu.be/aX2wstKIi6Y Source: © European Union - EP

International law imposes an obligation to render assistance to persons and ships in distress at sea, which must be provided regardless of the persons' nationality or status or the circumstances in which they are found. Nevertheless, over the last couple of years, the Mediterranean Sea has been the backdrop for the largest number of casualties and missing people. One solution, proposed by academics, could be the harmonisation of the fragmented legal regime for maritime interceptions. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document.html?reference=EPRS_BRI(2021)659442 https://youtu.be/AHIZAuPJ2g8 Source: © European Union - EP

The public sector loan facility is the third pillar of the Just Transition Mechanism (JTM), along with the Just Transition Fund and just transition scheme under Invest EU. The facility will consist of a grant and a loan component. With the contribution of €1.525 billion for the grant component from the Union budget and EIB lending of €10 billion from its own resources, the aim is for the public sector loan facility to mobilise between €25 and 30 billion in public investment over the 2021-2027 period. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document.html?reference=EPRS_BRI(2020)659428 https://youtu.be/DOLdqWSPgH8 Source: © European Union - EP

The pandemic has highlighted the risk involved, including for the EU, in relying heavily on external suppliers. The EU's 30 critical raw materials (CRMs) combine two characteristics: they are strategically important for its industry and economy, and there are high risks associated with securing their supply. The twin transition to a green and digital future relies particularly on the safe and diverse supply of CRMs. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document.html?reference=EPRS_BRI(2020)659426 https://youtu.be/kAEdvuDqmd0 Source: © European Union - EP

The EU adopts restrictive measures – mostly in the form of travel bans and asset freezes – against individuals and organisations responsible for some of the worst human rights violations. Until now, the EU has mostly adopted sanctions targeted at individual countries. However, the EU is now shifting to a more thematic approach, under which sanctions focus on a particular type of problem rather than a country. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document.html?reference=EPRS_BRI(2020)659402 https://youtu.be/nuyFLBjZ4nY Source: © European Union - EP

In the first two decades of the 21st century, with new risks and opportunities arising owing to the twin digital and green transformations there is an emerging debate, rethinking economic growth theories with more focus on inclusion and combatting inequality, and exploring the relevance of traditional welfare state models. This debate has intensified in the wake of the 2008 crisis, and now also as a result of the coronavirus pandemic and crisis. The social economy can play a central role in this context. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document.html?reference=EPRS_BRI(2020)659336 https://youtu.be/yOSmw0F_DbE Source: © European Union - EP

European territorial cooperation has brought Europeans closer together, strengthened connectivity and improved the natural environment, supported by EU mechanisms such as the European groupings of territorial cooperation, and macro-regional strategies. Yet despite these achievements, numerous obstacles to closer cooperation still remain, such as divergent national rules in the areas of employment, healthcare and social security. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document.html?reference=EPRS_BRI(2020)659340 https://youtu.be/qxGml8XKEeE Source: © European Union - EP

Covering nearly one third of the land surface of the globe, forests make a wide range of direct and indirect contributions to human well-being. Home to most of the world's terrestrial biodiversity, they also play an essential role in climate change mitigation, removing about a quarter of the CO2 that human activities add to the atmosphere. Worldwide, millions of hectares of forests and other types of vegetation burn every year. Fire dynamics are shaped by a complex set of factors, including human activity and climate. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document.html?reference=EPRS_BRI(2020)659353 https://youtu.be/JluwTE3Z4Zs Source: © European Union - EP

The marked political shift towards greater technological sovereignty and strategic autonomy within the EU has been given further impetus with the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, which disrupted global value chains and highlighted the case for a more self-sufficient EU model. Important projects of common European interest may be useful tools for creating complex new value chains that have the potential to ensure the EU's long-term competitiveness and economic growth. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document.html?reference=EPRS_BRI(2020)659341 https://youtu.be/Hrz-79HM_M0 Source: © European Union - EP

Household consumption in the EU has major environmental impacts, which in a number of cases exceed planetary boundaries. Two thirds of consumers in the EU realise that their consumption habits have negative effects on the environment, and the solution that they mention most often is to change consumption habits and production patterns. However, a number of studies have shown a gap between consumers' good intentions and their actual behaviour. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document.html?reference=EPRS_BRI(2020)659295 https://youtu.be/xOT6q4vk3FE Source: © European Union - EP

International maritime transport is the backbone of the global economy. However, vessels release emissions that pollute the air and contribute significantly to global warming. As shipping is forecast to grow, reducing these emissions is urgent, in order not to undermine emissions-reducing efforts in other areas, to keep humans healthy, preserve the environment and limit climate change. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document.html?reference=EPRS_BRI(2020)659296 https://youtu.be/JzMNAmOALq4 Source: © European Union - EP

Statistics and research results show that in recent decades, before the coronavirus pandemic, the EU's labour market witnessed an increase in female employment rates. Women's employment seems to have been more resilient than men's to the economic and financial crisis in 2008. The coronavirus crisis, however, has had a harsher impact on women than on men when it comes to the labour market. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document.html?reference=EPRS_BRI(2020)659307 https://youtu.be/L-VxBkfdP1c Source: © European Union - EP
