The Cir©Lean project aims to provide services to support the setup of a network of businesses and SMEs to seize industrial symbiosis business opportunities.

Project unded by the European Commission , 2019 - 2023.

Highlights
Cir©Lean organised the Open Innovation Workshop “Industrial Symbiosis and Circular Economy Models in the Belgian Industry” on 31 May 2022 in Brussels and online. This meeting gave participants the opportunity to exchange experiences and knowledge regarding industrial symbiosis (IS) transactions to ensure that the work of the Cir©Lean network remains relevant for its members. The workshop was the opportunity to share views and suggestions for the European Commission to increase the uptake of IS in the EU.
