VERNE is a European project that aims to accelerate the shift of tourist destinations towards more sustainable and circular models. By applying circular economy principles—such as waste reduction, energy efficiency, and ecosystem protection—VERNE promotes a new vision of tourism rooted in sustainability. 

YouRban is a pioneering initiative that fosters a vibrant urban ecosystem dedicated to the reprocessing and upcycling of materials, with a focus on reinforced polymers from local sources. This project brings together citizens, artists, designers, architects, small-scale producers, artisans, and Urban Factories to create a collaborative environment. It aligns with the New European Bauhaus and the Green Deal, aiming for a balance of aesthetics, environment, sustainability, and inclusion through innovative design and manufacturing. This encourages a rich dialogue across various cultures, disciplines, and demographics.

DeremCo focuses on developing and demonstrating circular economy solutions for composite materials. It uses two pilot strategies: mechanical demanufacturing and hybrid reprocessing, or thermo-chemical demanufacturing and textile reprocessing. The project involves 30 partners from seven European countries and works to create a demand-driven, cross-sectoral system for reusing composite materials in new, high-value products.

EcoReFibre develops optimised and efficient state-of-the-art solutions to extract fibres from wood waste, ultimately increasing available wood resources in Europe through recycling. 

Europe’s rising demand for wood in buildings and products could lead to a shortage by 2030. This shortage is exacerbated by waste management practices that prioritise landfill and energy recovery over material recycling. Additionally, recycling contaminated wood waste poses challenges. Our focus on transformative wood waste valorisation aims to combat deforestation and advance a circular economy, leveraging waste as a sustainable resource to meet future demands.

RECLAIM envisions the development of low cost, portable, easy to install and increased productivity prMRF, which (soon after the project end) will enable the construction of high-tech distributed waste treatment prMRF-fleets that will allow to achieve full material recovery anywhere, even in the most remote areas. Accordingly, prMRF is expected to have a key role in developing a global, leakage-free circular economy and model benefiting businesses, the society, and the environment.

It is a European project creating the first "Hub for Circularity" in Greece to promote the circular economy. 

Industrial-Urban Symbiosis (I-US) lies at the heart of the Theseus Hub for Circularity (H4C), fostering cooperation between municipalities, regions, and industries in managing resources, waste, energy, water, infrastructures, and networks. This first-of-a-kind initiative in Greece, originating from the Athens/Attica metropolitan area, aims to lead the nation in establishing a robust circular economy model aligned with European strategies under the Processes4Planet (P4P) partnership.

TRANSIENCE will undertake a comprehensive characterisation and assessment of circularity principles and measures visà-vis decarbonisation, by looking at the twin transition of European industries through the lenses of global competitiveness, innovation, and holistic sustainability. It will then produce MIC3, a consistent, fully open-source model ecosystem to assess industrial circularity, decarbonisation, and sustainability.

Funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe programme, STORCITO brings together people, ideas, and innovations from across Europe to support the just and green transition of rural areas. From mountain villages to coastal towns, we’re working hand in hand with local actors to co-develop solutions that protect the environment, increase energy independence, and create new models for sustainable mobility.

By promoting energy communities, circular economy practices, and peer-to-peer energy trading, the project strengthens local governance and empowers citizens to lead the transition to climate-neutrality.

INBUILT’s strategy involves the up-scaling and demonstration of 10 innovative products and systems.

DISCOVER project aims to revolutionize the construction and demolition industry by developing an advanced system for the autonomous, synchronous, and continuous identification and analysis of materials in end-of-life built environments.

The project aims to develop, introduce and demonstrate innovative circular solutions to recover resources from construction and demolition waste (CDW) and decrease consumption of raw construction materials by applying selective demolition, novel CDW recycling and production of high-quality recycled and innovative construction materials and products. A cornerstone of the project is the deployment of a mobile pilot plant for production of high-quality recycled and innovative construction materials and products.

Developing Digital Buildings Logbooks (DBLs) in Europe. DBLs are common digital data repositories capturing, integrating and storing building data from across the construction market value chain.

BIO4EEB advances the environmental performance of residential buildings by addressing sustainability at the building, component, and material levels. The project reduces VOC emissions through the use of non-hazardous bio-based materials, such as Posidonia and bio-based foams, to create smart, market-ready components for both interior and exterior applications. These include innovative materials, pre-fabricated panels, and window solutions designed to deliver high performance with a lower environmental impact.

The SUM4Re project proposes a comprehensive approach to creating materials banks from the built environment by combining urban mining and technologies for automated on-site data acquisition and building materials identification and asset components.

Upcycling mineral and timber-based waste from construction & manufacturing process industries through eco-design, advanced logistics, quality control and digital solutions.
