Resumen
To contribute to catalyzing the transition towards a sustainable, circular economCircSyst, presents
a series of shared Demonstration Experiences of new technological and societal adaptations to a
Circular Economy involving 8 European regions: Valencia (SP), Maribor (SI), Flanders (BE), Gotland
(SW), Paijat-Hame-Lahti (FI), Castila la Mancha (SP), Central Macedonia (EL), and Central and East
Hungary (HU). The project focuses on three of the priority value chains of the Circular Economy
Plan: Water Management, Biowaste, and Plastics and Packaging, as well as in the potential synergies
among them. 4 Demonstrators are proposed developing and validating solutions for Water Management:
1 Reuse of industrial treated wastewater through on-demand treatment. 2 Agricultural industry and
utilities uses for reclaimed urban water. 3 Smart wastewater management as a structural solution to
water scarcity and floods in urban contexts. 4 Validation of a set of Integrated tools and
methodologies for smart management of water symbiosis. In the Biowaste field the project will
implement 2 Demonstrators dealing with waste from different sources and extracting valuable
substances directly applicable in the other addressed value chains: 5 Flexible and intelligent
biorefinery for the recovery of materials and components. 6 Valorisation routes of Food Industry
Biowastes. In the Plastics and Packaging field, the project tackles main aspects of plastic waste
management, including eco-design, cost-effective segregation, and recyclability: 7 Mechanical
recycling of mPET. 8 Consumers engagement in plastics segregation 9 Food Packaging value chain
redesign towards the substitution of plastics Work Packages on Communication & Dissemination,
Knowledge Transfer, and Results Exploitation and Impact, are designed to ensure that that the
results adequately reach key stakeholders in governments, private organizations, and civil society
with the cooperation of the CCRI Coordination and Support Office.
