Introducing circular economy system to Alpine Space to achieve low-carbon targets

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Alpine Space

Date of latest update: 2023-08-11

Description

Description (EN):

Cities and regions in Alpine Space have mainly set their low-carbon objectives and adopted relevant strategies in energy, mobility, construction etc. - however cross-sectoral approach is missing. The project GREENCYCLE aims to introduce the system of circular economy (replace linear) as a holistic approach to support implementation of low-carbon strategies and provide additional 2-4% greenhouse emission reduction to the partner cities. Circular economy deployment will save energy, water, recover critical raw materials, reduce transport, boost the eco-innovation, create green jobs and benefit to low income citizens, which is directly in line with priority 2 of the ASP. Cities as biggest emissions producers and biggest energy and materials consumers will play the pioneering role by developing circular economy implementation strategies where key target groups (utilities, SMEs, citizens, research organizations) will be actively involved in the process. Supporting toolbox will be developed as an e-tool which will enable planning, management and monitoring of circular economy processes and will be made publicly available. Important part of project is dedicated to pilot project implementation where partner cities will deploy circular economy approach in real-case scenarios to test and evaluate the toolbox. In order to be effective, circular economy requires critical size of market and critical mass of materials which will be enabled by macro-regional approach. A transnational platform will be set up as a circular economy marketplace for materials and cooperation platform for further development of circular economy in Alpine Space. A platform will contribute to the lasting impact of the project with the active network membership of responsible local circular economy managers. Partner cities will become a circular economy lighthouse role-models and will actively involve other Alpine Space cities and/or regions to follow.

Achievements (EN):

Waste is a resource that should not be wasted. Drawing on this assumption, five cities joined the Greencycle project and tested a variety of actions aimed at developing circular economy. Maribor (SI) and Trento (IT) created loops across industries to reuse waste as much as possible, while Vienne Coindreau (FR) started producing biogas from the sludge as a step toward its 2050 energy neutrality goal. Thanks to the Greencycle toolbox and to the project transnational network, municipalities in the Alpine Space and beyond find it easier to build their circular economy strategies.

Expected Results (EN): Level of Implementation of low carbon policy instruments

Expected Outputs (EN):

Main result of the project will be the change it brings to the low-carbon governance because it provides a system of integration of low-carbon sectoral policies (energy, mobility, waste, construction) into circular economy cycle - providing additional reductions of greenhouse emissions, higher resource efficiency, critical raw materials mining and reduction of transport activities. Additionally, it creates a pool of new business opportunities for eco-innovation and green jobs.
