The CirkArena project focuses on the circular economy, which is a key part of the EU Green Deal and is represented by the EU Circular Economy Action Plan, which will help modernise the EU economy and seize the opportunities offered by the transition to a circular economy. Achieving the circular economy objectives will require the full mobilisation of industry, for which this opportunity means, inter alia, expanding sustainable economic activities leading to job creation. For its new activities, the industry needs to work as closely as possible with research institutes such as CirkArena.
