The CIRCTER project also carried out three spin-off studies to increase the national, regional and local relevance of the CIRCTER evidence in policy processes and developments at different scales. This spin-off aims to provide critical insights related to the transition to a circular economy that should be considered within the Interreg Sweden-Norway 2021-2027 cross-border programme. An in-depth analysis of current territorial patterns of material, waste and socioeconomic indicators provides evidence for the design of regional strategies currently being developed in most of the interested areas. The spin-off generated conclusions and recommendations in relation to financing and investment opportunities, a more networked and coordinated form of governance, a functional area approach and a ‘small wins’ framework.
