Current production and consumption patterns are unsustainable to maintain economic prosperity and the well-being of future generations. A paradigm shift in production systems and consumption patterns in society is needed.
The Circular Economy is the driving force behind the transition towards sustainable production and consumption models for our society and our planet.
We support the industrial sector and public institutions in implementing a sustainable economic development model. A Circular Economy model that introduces circularity into production systems, optimises the use of raw materials, materials, products/services and energy and reduces the generation of waste to a minimum. This helps to strengthen the competitiveness of companies and create new economic activities based on the “Green Economy”.
We are involved right from the eco-design of products and processes, to the development of solutions for recycling and recovering waste. We work in the industrial environment, as well as in cities and regions. We also develop solutions in the area of the bioeconomy, through technologies that make biological resources renewable.
