Training material for public procurers - How to procure circular construction skills?
This slide deck aims to help public procurers and policymakers better understand how they can stimulate demand for circular construction skills through public procurement. The deck can be used as a self-learning tool, with links to other resources to learn more about the topic. It can also be used and adapted as needed to help to raise awareness among your colleagues and partners on how they can promote circular construction skills.

Stimulating demand for circular construction skills - a guide for public authorities
Through good practice and replicable examples from Europe and beyond, this document aims to raise awareness among practitioners and policymakers about their ability to promote a more circular construction sector and upskill professionals. It highlights the various levers at their disposal to support this transition

SYMSITES
The SYMSITES project aims at developing new technologies and solutions based on the Industrial and Urban symbiosis (I-US) concept, for local and regional collaborations among diverse actors (Citizens, Municipalities and Entreprises) and sectors improving the sustainability of the use of industrial and societal resources starting from wastewater and waste materials.

H4C ECoP
The H4C ECoP is co-leading and supporting the establishment and growth of the European Community of Practice for Hubs4Circularity together with the project H4C Europe. The consortium is helping identify and connect all the interested parties (starting with existing local Hubs, as well as industries, regions and cities, policymakers and standardisation bodies), enabling them to take action through an information and knowledge platform.

By fostering knowledge sharing between regions, cities and their industries, the knowledge platform provides the tools and the scientific evidence for this approach to be adopted widely across Europe. All the materials collected and developed throughout the project will continue to be available after its end, to keep supporting the community in the transition to a net-zero, circular economy.

REDOL
REDOL will foster industrial-urban symbiosis, transforming cities into hubs for circularity. It will redesign five value chains for solid urban waste (packaging, plastics, construction and demolition waste, textiles, and waste from electrical and electronic equipment) to produce 12 circular products.

Over four years of activity, REDOL will upgrade waste management technologies for the collection, sorting and classification of materials, enhance the processing routes of sorted materials to avoid landfilling and facilitate the uptake of digital tools to optimise value chains and promote the interaction among key players.

Among its results, the project will develop guidelines and recommendations for decision makers and will improve citizens’ perception on solid urban waste and recycled products, thus increasing their participation in collection schemes.

REDOL will support the transition of Zaragoza towards a zero-residues city by 2040, allowing 144.720 tons of solid urban waste being reused, valorised or transformed into secondary raw materials. This will contribute to saving over 14B€ and 280 ktCO2 per year.

DEFINITE-CCRI
Effective investment and financing opportunities for circular economy projects in Europe are still few and far between. Investors need to gain trust in circular economy projects, while projects need to become less risky and bankable.

The DEFINITE-CCRI project establishes a “deal engine mechanism” – an assistance programme to help make circular economy projects bankable – to provide cities, regions and project developers with technical and financial expertise in an unprecedented and streamlined process. The deal engine will be built with investors and finance partners with the goal to secure investments in four circular economy projects of up to €20 million each.

DEFINITE-CCRI will demonstrate the bankability of high-impact circularity projects and increase investors’ trust in circular economy innovation. The project is expected to close the gap between project developers and investors and ultimately contribute to lower the use of virgin non-renewable material, reduce emissions and foster a more just and inclusive circular employment in line with the European Green Deal, the Circular Economy Action Plan and the Bioeconomy Strategy.

CircularInvest
CircularInvest will provide project development assistance (PDA) to selected circular economy project promoters from across Europe with the aim to develop significant projects at the local and regional scales, and close investments for an overall volume of more than €20 million.

During the project’s lifetime, CircularInvest will launch two calls for expressions of interest to engage circular economy project promoters. The services offered include project development assistance, knowledge transfer and networking opportunities.

The lessons learnt from CircularInvest’s experience will prepare the pathway for future replication through a Step-by-Step Guide to de-risk future circular economy projects; policy recommendations; a Circular Investor guide to increase investors’ trust; a knowledge exchange platform for project promoters; business cases to allow the replication of circular economy solutions; and a pipeline of circular economy investment opportunities to support initiatives after the project’s end.

CHORIZO
CHORIZO aims to improve the understanding of how social norms influence behaviour and food loss waste generation and use this knowledge to improve the effectiveness of decision-making and engagement of food chain actors, towards zero food waste.

The project´s particular goals are to address existing research gaps and will use its outcomes to deliver and advance innovations helping actors to engage more effectively in food waste prevention and reduction activities

Biomodel4Regions
The BIOMODEL4REGIONS project aims to support the establishment of the innovative governance models at local/regional level to achieve better-informed decision-making processes, social engagement and innovation to support and strengthen EU and international science-policy interfaces to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.

The methodology is based on the set-up of a governance structure among bioeconomy clusters that will leverage on previous successful projects, initiatives and best practices to capitalise on work performed through several years of research and studies in the field of bioeconomy. These results will be demonstrated within the project to support 6 pilot regions chosen in clusters’ network.
