- SHAREPAIR - Digital Support Infrastructure for Citizens in the Repair Economy
- Interreg North-West Europe (2019-still ongoing) project, coordinated by the City of Leuven (BE) (AE partner), addresses the increasing amount of waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). The project aims to decrease WEEE from consumer products by scaling up citizen repair initiatives through the use of digital tools: digital tools that stimulate and facilitate citizen repair by collecting repair solutions and making them easily accessible to citizens. The tools will target both consumers at home and more skilled repairers in repair cafés. They will also map and guide citizens towards high-quality professional repair services, and assemble, with the help of designers, a database of 3D-printing designs (open-source) for printing replacement parts. The objective is to decrease WEEE by 13,5 T per year in pilot repair cafés and by 175 T per year in the pilot cities. The project’s main output will be an integrated approach to supporting citizen repair: a digital infrastructure that supports self-repair, repairing together (in repair cafés or repair centers), and repairing with professional support. To sustain this infrastructure beyond the project lifetime, business and policy models will be developed with a view to setting up a European Open Repair Data Platform.

Projects result and mutual learning about already existing innovation capacities and cooperation between non-profit and for-profit sector in the field of tackling different local social and environmental challenges. Project supported 90 pilot collaborations between two mentioned target groups. The main output enabling the synergies is the net4socialimpact.eu platform, allowing social innovation through digital innovation. The website also contains coaching toolboxes and resources for both social entrepreneurs and altruistic ones. (EN), CE RESPONSIBLE - Empowering social business in Central Europe

The project addressed SME inclusion in the circular economy, by interregional meetings that identified good practices aiming to examine how best regional and local authorities and business development agencies can improve relevant policy instruments and design support packages to assist SMEs to enter the circular economy. CESME created a strong network of engaged stakeholders which has been active at all phases of CESME implementation. (EN), CESME - Circular Economy for SMEs

- The ENI CBC MED (2019-still ongoing) MED-InA project (AViTeM partner) proposes to develop and roll out a methodology for a “Zero Waste” public policy adapted to Mediterranean cities as an exemplary and participatory approach for waste reduction, reuse and recycling. 7 partners in 5 countries, on the topic of circular economy for waste management and reduction. The approach is to help 3 pilot municipalities (Irbid in Jordan, Carcaixent in Spain and La Marsa in Tunisia) start their Zero Waste approach journey by simultaneously activating public, private and citizen levers towards minimized waste production and development of circular economy behaviours, products and services. The project includes a strong component of behavioural science, with 2,000 households in each pilot city supported to change their daily habits towards less waste production and more reuse/recycling.

As starting in 2016, the web platform Too Rap Kapot (www.terapkapot.be) enabled consumers to report products that had broken down too soon. It became one of the first crowd-sourced datasets of the types of products causing the most problems. This platform was extended to six other countries (Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain), building up a strong evidence base and vital insight into premature obsolescence and repairability.
- REPper could also gain insight from this project as it has also uncovered key consumer perspectives on repairing products. It found that high costs deter people from seeking a fix, finding it cheaper to buy a new appliance rather than repair it. It also found techniques and practices that make repairing impossible: such as a lack of replaceable parts, and physically locking down products so they can’t be opened and fixed without damaging the whole product.

- The Interreg Europe project RUMORE (Anatoliki partner, 2017-2021) was about the exchange and development of ideas for rural-urban partnerships and innovation delivery. Part of the project outputs were related to circular economy and specifically how the longer life of projects, and thus resources saving, is linked to innovative design. Designing products in a smart and innovative way also means to make them repairable and reusable. The design innovation generates new entrepreneurship prospects.

- Interreg CE programme (2007-2014) project, CENTRALAB (E-zavod partner) introduced and tested living lab approach in 10 CE countries based on the regional and transnational environment. Living lab approach supported cooperation between business-citizens and government, building on existing territorial capital (people, knowledge, assets).

- Horizon project (2017-2020) aimed to transform plastic packaging waste into a resource (OCU partner). The project developed more sustainable, bio-based and recyclable plastics used for the manufacture of a wide range of products: trays, bottles, coffee capsules, jars, car parts, pallets, and new types of multi-layer and multi-material packaging. CIRC-PACK aimed to create biodegradable or compostable polyesters as well as smart eco-designs that make sorting easier, with improved recycling technologies that will increase recovery rates and ensure quality.

- OCU will share with partners methodological insights to allow the adaptation and replication of workshops targeting industry, administration and civil society stakeholders to gather information about barriers/advantages of new solutions and will take advantage on the experience in managing social acceptance of bio-plastic packaging within CIRC-PACK project https://circpack.eu/fileadmin/user_upload/documents/05_-_Consumers_view_on_CIRC-PACK_-_OCU_-.pdf .
- This synergy can be helpful for the role that OCU will have in activity 3.2 mobilizing relevant multi-sectoral and multi-level decision makers, in order to make them aware about repair potentialities and its importance in the transition to circular systems. In particular they will be engaged in discussion about the best use of green public procurement (GPP) as "nudge policy".

- Horizon project (2021 – still ongoing, AE and OCU partners) with the aim to enhance decision making using information across the product life cycle to improve lifespan, repair, remanufacturing and recycling. The project will design a methodology for sharing information about the different stages of the products’ life cycle, focusing on environmental, social, economic and circular aspects. The overall goal is to create data linkages between product chain, value chain, asset chain and life cycle chains. Circularly use cases will be tested in Italy, Slovenia and Spain. (FR), CIRCTHREAD
