On 25 November 2019, the partners of the Cir©Lean project gathered in Brussels for the first meeting of the project at the European Commission. Technopolis, Trinomics, International Synergies, Arctik, EIT Rawmaterials, SPIRE and ACR+ will join forces during the next three years to reach the two main objectives of this project: the development and formal adoption of a voluntary common approach on the reporting of industrial symbiosis transactions together with promoting the uptake of this approach by actors that get involved in industrial symbiosis across the EU, and the creation of a European network Cir©Lean of relevant players that are either directly involved or interested in promoting industrial symbiosis practices and who endorse the voluntary approach to IS reporting developed under this project.
