We help accelerate the transition from a linear to a circular economy in Europe. Updates from EU-funded projects CityLoops and CircularInvest and other circular economy initiatives.
We’re excited to announce that #CircularInvest is furthering its mission to transform Europe’s sustainability landscape with the addition of three new circular projects! Joining our early pioneers like ReNew Lifecycle and Optifood, these innovators are redefining the #packaging, #construction, and #mobility sectors. 🔹 Ocean Package tackles packaging waste by promoting a closed-loop system, aiming to reduce emissions and extend product lifecycles. 🔹 SURLEV presents a breakthrough in construction by lifting existing roofs for new space—cutting waste and costs. 🔹 rEcharge (powered by Reusable Technologies) revolutionises urban mobility with sustainable charging stations made from recycled batteries, supporting greener cities. These projects were presented at the IMPACT FESTIVAL, which took place in Frankfurt on 30 and 31 October. Read more: https://lnkd.in/e8FGVXQh
