The EU-funded 3R Connect project has established a common roadmap based on the existing strategies of the regions of Flanders, Greater Copenhagen and Northern Portugal. The goal is to accelerate circular transformation within the plastics, textiles and construction sectors.
The completed project has produced three comprehensive Joint Action Plans for Circular Economy in Plastics, Construction, and Textiles. These action plans are the culmination of an initiative that pooled input from over 200 private, public and research actors. Through their collective expertise, 3R Connect identified actionable strategies to accelerate the transition to a circular economy in Europe.
The action plans can be used by other regions: for instance, they can identify partners and join specific actions.

CuCilento (which can be understand to mean both "Sew slowly" and "Sew in Cilento", a region in Campania) is an innovative business project designed by Sarah Khoudja as part of the EU's 'Empowering Women in Agrifood' programme led by the Future Food Institute. It is an upcycling workshop which processes agricultural by-products and other materials (boat sails, factory scraps, etc.) classified as waste and turns them into net or fabric bags that can be used for food packaging or shopping.
