Eunomia’s report for the Environment Agency reviewed evidence for the most effective ways to communicate about the risk of flooding and coastal erosion. As climate change brings more frequent flooding to the UK and intensifies coastal erosion, effective communication strategies are essential to raise public awareness, foster understanding, and encourage [...]
This report for the European Commission, Directorate-General Environment explores emerging risks, issues, and opportunities for a water resilient Europe in 2050. The study, conducted by Eunomia, Milieu Consulting, and Cranfield University, highlights five clusters of disruptive changes for water resilience and poses some high-level policy questions: This is the final [...]
Eunomia has developed guidelines on behalf of the Federal Government of Nigeria that will help state and local governments implement Nigeria’s National Policy on Plastic Waste Management (NPPWM). To develop the guidelines, Eunomia and local expert Benneth Obinna Obasiohia worked closely with representatives of the Federal Government of Nigeria, [...]
Eunomia worked with Poseidon Aquatic Resource Management Europe to deliver this study of the market for fishing gear containing plastic in Ireland and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) models for it that comply with the EU Single-Use Plastics Directive (SUPD). It was conducted on behalf of the Department of the Environment, [...]
Eunomia Research & Consulting, in partnership with Giroux Environmental Consulting and Millette Environmental, was commissioned by BCRNC to review the current state of beverage container recycling in Canada, estimate the current material flow of plastic beverage containers, analyse factors that contribute to high-performing systems in Europe and Canada, and identify [...]

A new study by Systemiq, supported by Closed Loop Partners, Eunomia and The Recycling Partnership, outlines a roadmap to transform PET packaging and polyester textiles in the U.S. into circular, low-waste and low-emissions systems by 2040. Scaling proven, complementary circular economy solutions could cut non-recycled waste by half, reduce packaging [...]
This report for the Environmental Investigation Agency models whether a virgin plastic production reduction target of 40% by 2040 (40×40) could keep the plastics industry within a 1.5°C carbon budget. The research was commissioned after Rwanda and Peru proposed a global target to reduce 40% of virgin plastic production by [...]
Eunomia’s report, commissioned by the Minderoo Foundation, explores the potential effectiveness of a polymer premium to help funding implementation of the Global Plastics Treaty. A polymer premium would involve charging a fee ($US60-$90) to producers of primary plastic polymers – the ultimate source of all plastic pollution – per tonne [...]
