Compared to the rest of the EU, North-West Europe is relatively advanced in adopting resource-efficient and circular economy approaches. Yet, the benefits of this transition are not shared equally across territories, industrial sectors, and communities, leaving some regions and groups behind.
By funding multiple projects in this area, the NWE Programme is working to make the circular transition more inclusive. Focusing on waste prevention, reuse, and smarter resource management, it supports regions and cities in reducing waste, saving resources and ensuring that the benefits of a circular economy are accessible to all across North-West Europe.
