Improving resource efficiency through industrial symbiosis - Opportunities for SMEs

EREK's 9th workshop, organised in Helsinki, Finland, will deal with the nature of industrial symbiosis as a main driver for the transition to a truly Circular Economy. Hosted by our partner Motiva, this day-long workshop will outline the incredible opportunities of a further integrated industry in the field of resource efficiency. Throughout the event, we will address the national programmes, European experiences and practical lessons learned.


The event is participatory and focuses on learning, enabling actors to gain an understanding of the opportunities in terms of resource efficiency within the waste management sector, and the benefits of this approach.


Workshop objectives

- To enable networking and engage business support intermediaries into EREK and related industrial symbiosis/resource efficiency/Circular Economy activities.
