Each case study within the CIRCTER project looks into an initiative that have been implemented to move towards a circular economy and with that tries to identify how circular economy works in real conditions and how regional factors can unlock the circular economy potential and contribute to territorial development. They looked into the Bioeconomy Cluster in Saxony-Anhalt (Germany). The cluster connects potential partners toward opportunities for cascades and industrial symbiosis, supporting research and industry to implement innovations toward a circular bioeconomy transition. With that they build a lead market together and foster joint innovation opportunities, share knowledge and support companies and research projects.
