Water2REturn was an Innovation Action co-funded by the European Commission under its Horizon 2020 programme. It focused on the recovery and recycling of nutrients from slaughterhouse wastewater as part of a circular economy model.
The PAPERCHAIN project aimed to deploy five novel circular economy models centred around making use of the waste streams generated by the Pulp and Paper Industry (PPI).
The BAMB project was an innovation action within the EU-funded Horizon 2020 programme.
BAMB promoted a systemic shift where dynamically and flexibly designed buildings could be incorporated into a circular economy. Through design and circular value chains, materials in buildings keep their value – in a sector producing less waste and using less virgin resources.
The SYMBI project helped improve the implementation of regional development policies and programmes related to the promotion and dissemination of industrial symbiosis and the circular economy.
Its website describes various projects based on industrial symbiosis.
