D1.1 Review Report on Impact Assessment

Based on a review of scientific literature, this report summarises established methods for assessing environmental impacts and sustainable well-being in the context of household food waste and clothing consumption, forming the basis for impact assessment in CARE.

D1.2 Evaluation Method and Data Collection Protocol

This deliverable describes the evaluation methodology and data collection protocol used in CARE to assess the environmental impacts and sustainable well-being related to household food waste and clothing consumption. It defines the life cycle assessment approach, well-being indicators, and survey tools applied across the CARE pilot regions.

D2.1 Infographic of Behaviour Change

This deliverable presents two infographics that visually summarise key insights from research on how household practices relating to food and clothing can become more circular. Based on a systematic review of behavioural interventions, the infographics highlight effective approaches, common challenges and areas where further research is needed to support the design of effective circular household initiatives.

D2.2 Strategy for Household Recruitment

This deliverable provides a common recruitment strategy to support CARE partners in recruiting households across five European regions. It outlines roles and responsibilities, timelines, recruitment phases, and ethical guidelines, ensuring a coordinated, transparent, and effective recruitment process for the CARE circular food and clothing pilots.

D3.1 Local Guidelines for the Circular Food Pilot

Households in five European regions are invited to explore practical ways to reduce food waste and rethink everyday food practices. The local guidelines described here combine hands-on activities, tailored advice, and locally adapted interventions focusing on planning, cooking, storing food, and using leftovers to support circular food habits at home.

D4.1 Local Guidelines for the Circular Clothing Pilot

Households in five European regions are invited to explore new ways of caring for, repairing, and rethinking their wardrobes. The local guidelines described here combine hands-on workshops, tailored advice, and creative challenges—such as clothing care, repair and redesign, and wardrobe planning—to support more mindful and circular clothing choices in everyday life.

D5.1 Communication & Dissemination Strategy

This deliverable outlines the CARE communication and dissemination strategy, defining key messages, target audiences, and stakeholder engagement activities. It provides guidance on project identity, communication channels, and performance indicators to support consistent, effective outreach and maximise the project’s impact.

D5.2 Explainer Videos

Two high-quality explainer videos introduce the importance of circular food and clothing practices and illustrate how households can integrate these ideas into everyday life. Designed to inspire action, the videos support household recruitment and help engage a wider audience, including the Circular Cities and Regions Initiative (CCRI) network and other stakeholders.

D5.3 Exploitation Strategy

The CARE Exploitation Strategy outlines how the project’s key results are intended to be adopted, transferred and developed beyond the project’s lifetime. It identifies the project’s main target audiences and the pathways for exploitation, as well as considerations relating to intellectual property. This initial version will be updated as the project progresses, informing subsequent exploitation and European rollout activities.

D6.2 Data Management Plan (DMP)

The CARE Data Management Plan (DMP) describes how data collected and generated during the project is managed in a secure, ethical, and transparent manner, in line with Horizon Europe’s open science requirements. It outlines the project’s data governance framework, the application of FAIR data management principles, and relevant legal and ethical considerations, providing guidance for consortium partners on data handling, storage, and protection.

Infographic: Behaviour Change for Circularity in Food Waste

This infographic highlights key insights on reducing household food waste by changing everyday practices, from shopping to storage and cooking. A holistic approach is essential, focusing on practical interventions rather than just raising awareness.
