Building circular economies

From waste to wealth: Keeping the planet green by using resources responsibly

Wooden and metal crates for plant material composting, with a green field in the background.

Reduce, reuse, refurbish, recycle. The race is on to make better use of resources and minimise waste. But putting a circular economy in place does not happen overnight. Each sector has its own challenges, and going circular requires people to think and act differently.

Interreg North Sea projects are driving the transition along, supporting the goals set out in the European Circular Economy Action Plan.
