ongoingRelevant linked projects:
- SYMBI INTERREG EUROPE - extension (2022) (EN) | SYMBI project will contribute to improve the implementation of regional development policies and programmes related to the promotion and dissemination of Industrial Symbiosis and Circular Economy from 7 participating countries faced to policies alignment with the Circular Economy strategy of the European Commission to transform Europe into a more competitive resource-efficient economy.
- Industrial Symbiosis looks at interactions between the environment, the economy and industry, and promotes the sharing of materials to minimize waste, following the example of a natural ecosystem, where everything is reused.
- Industrial symbiosis strengthens regional growth and competitiveness fostering:
- Material and energy savings, reusing waste and energy by-products of industrial processes;
- New business models with secondary raw resources trading and innovative waste management services;
- Mitigation of external volatility risks, reducing dependencies on imported materials and fossil fuel. Slovenia with RRALUR is partner in strict cooperation with TPLJ. (EN), BDI Initiative Circular Economy (CE) (EN) | The BDI Initiative Circular Economy (CE) was created in April 2021 by the Federation of German Industries.
- It is a network of more than 50 members that defines the potential of CE and the necessary framework conditions through practical exchange. To this end, they are in close dialogue with policymakers in Berlin and Brussels and with the sciences community.
- SYMCRAFT will be involved with the operational platform through UIL and B&S partners. (EN), European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform (EN) | It is a joint initiative by the European Commission and the European Economic and Social Committee.
- Moving to more circular economy models is one of the European circular economic community's main objectives today. This transition promises a brighter future for the European economy. By helping to decouple economic growth from resource use and its impacts, the circular economy offers the prospect of actual, sustainable development.
- Industrial Symbiosis is a way to achieve a more sustainable and integrated industrial system, identifying business opportunities that leverage underutilised resources. Stakeholders in related sectors collaborate to reuse residues, use by-products properly, and find innovative ways to optimise inputs. (EN), CIRCLEAN - European network of businesses and SMEs for Industrial Symbiosis (EN) | The network aims at implementing Circular Economy Action Plan and Waste Framework Directive, where the European Union has assigned a prominent role for industrial symbiosis (IS). The project describes ‘the use by one company or sector of underutilized resources broadly defined (including waste, by-products, residues, energy, water, logistics, capacity, expertise, equipment and materials) from another, with the result of keeping resources in productive use for longer’. While the reuse of materials through industrial symbiosis can have economic, environmental, and social benefits, there are still challenges to its uptake in Europe. The project organizes a network of stakeholders dealing with Industrial symbiosis and related services addressed to SMEs and can be an interesting point of reference for SYMCRAFT. (EN), SYMBIOSIS initiative (EN) | http://www.industrialsymbiosis.it/
- It is a platform managed by ENEA (Agenzia nazionale per le nuove tecnologie, l'energia e lo sviluppo economico sostenibile) that collects and analyse all relevant Italian experiences carried out on the industrial symbiosis. Actually, 51 projects EU funded are connected and explored. Good suggestions for the toolkit, the method of engagement will be taken up. Additionally, SYMCRAFT is in relationship with ENEA (the LP) and sharing knowledge actions will be undertaken. (EN), CIRCULAR4.0 - Interreg Alpine Space (EN) | The main objective of the CIRCULAR4.0 project (TPLJ LP) is to strengthen digitalisation processes by SMEs to foster innovation processes and accelerate the transition to the circular economy in Alpine Space.
- The introduction of new technologies, notably the IoT and big data tools, is enabling the development and introduction of new circular economy business models, often based on sharing and leasing but also reuse and remanufacturing. New technical systems and tools enable the tracking of products or materials during their life to enable extended use/life and maintaining the highest possible value. Meanwhile, design and manufacturing capabilities are evolving with advances in production, material science and manufacturing, e.g. 3D printing and AI.
- CIRCULAR4.0 addresses specific objectives to Integrate the EU circular economy Action plan with specific actions addressed to the Alpine Space area and its peculiarities, focusing particularly to SMEs (eco-design and innovative business models), value-chain and clusters according to S3 and the EUSALP strategic sectors; policy makers (integrate circular economy into innovation policies for SMEs and 2020+ Programme).
- CIRCULAR4.0 will increase the knowledge and raise the attention of Entrepreneurs and Intermediaries on the circular economy concepts, develop and test a set of tools able to foster the contribute of Industry4.0 for the transition of SMEs to the circular economy, with particular attention to Circular Design models, Optimal Use models, Value Recovery models. The project intends to address Policy Makers, Intermediaries and SMEs to raise the importance of digitalization processes, focusing mainly on: the innovation processes, the business models and the investments needed.
- The project will produce a CIRCULAR4.0 Action plan to contribute to the transition toward CE in the Alpine Space with SMEs digitalization creating added value for stakeholders in the Alpine Space and supporting Policies and EUSALP Macro Strategy.
