TREASoURcE.
Territorial and regional demonstrations of systemic circular economy solutions for key value chains — and their replication across the Nordic and Baltic Sea Regions.
Why TREASoURcE?
TREASoURcE aimed to initiate systemic change by developing circular economy solutions in cities and regions for previously underutilised or unused plastic waste, end-of-life electric vehicle batteries and bio-based waste and side streams.
Implementing these solutions together with companies, societies — including citizens, consumers, communities and regional actors — and field experts significantly increased product and material circulation in the Nordic and Baltic Sea Regions.
The combination of cities and regions enabled large reach and bigger impact, boosting the replicability and scalability of the solutions. They helped regions decouple from fossil virgin resources, increased resilience, decreased greenhouse gas emissions and contributed to climate-neutral economies.
TREASoURcE Handbook
A practical, open-access guide compiling the project's methods, tools and lessons learned for developing circular economy solutions in cities and regions. It supports replication of the TREASoURcE approach across the Nordic and Baltic Sea Regions and beyond.
CLIC's role: communication, partnerships & strategy
CLIC led the communication and dissemination activities (WP8) and the Symbiotic B2B partnerships SE-DEMO task, and contributed to identifying regulatory barriers and building circular economy strategies (WP1).
Communication & dissemination
CLIC leads the communication and dissemination activities — sharing results and engaging stakeholders across the targeted sectors in industry and research.
Symbiotic B2B partnerships
CLIC leads the Symbiotic B2B partnerships task, building on its wide networks across the CLIC cluster and relevant Finnish stakeholders.
Regulatory barriers & CE strategies
CLIC contributes its experience from previous projects in identifying regulatory barriers for sustainable development and building circular economy and regulatory strategies.
