ACR+ member CleanTech Region has organised the "Circular Factories Challenge Week" for bringing together companies, students, and researchers to develop circular solutions for the manufacturing sector. During the week of 20-24 March 2023, participants will work together in teams to develop circular solutions for various industries, including textiles, plastics, and food.  After an intensive week of consultation, research and creative brainstorming, the results per challenge will be presented to a jury and audience on Friday evening, 24 March. The initiative is part of the Clean Tech Region's broader efforts to promote a circular economy and reduce waste in the manufacturing sector.
