Circular economy: Use your own waste material

Not sure what to do with the waste material? Do you need new technology, machinery and equipment to remanufacture or produce a reusable material or product? There is a call from the Circular Economy Programme aimed at supporting Small and Medium Enterprises.

Start introducing technologies to produce a secondary raw material, a semi-finished product or a product from your own waste material or from secondary raw materials. Install technologies that allow you to increase the proportion of secondary raw materials in the product. Reuse your company’s own production waste, increase product recyclability and reduce the amount of inputs in production.

When will the call open?
