Together and across. That is the essence of Closing Loops, where the goal is to promote small and medium-sized enterprises' efforts with circular economy.
TOGETHER ACROSS INDUSTRIES AND VALUE CHAINS. This is the essence of Closing Loops, which has as its objective to promote small and medium-sized enterprises’ circular economy efforts in the value chains.
The programme is the biggest circular economy effort in Denmark and very concrete: Within three years we must significantly reduce CO2 and tonnage in the value chains.
Small and medium-sized enterprises get tools and networks for implementing circular business models.
Working closely with your own and other industries, businesses and value chains and in interaction with regions and knowledge institutions, you and your colleagues will implement and scale concrete circular solutions.
“The most effective way for companies to transition from linear to circular business models is by collaborating within their value chains. ”
Denmark is among the countries in the world performing the worst in terms of circular economy – only 4% of our consumption can be linked to it.
Some sectors are particularly climate-intensive, which is why Closing Loops focuses on construction, environmental technology, textiles, furniture, food, and bioresources.
Within the program, companies inspire each other across sectors and explore whether they can work together to reduce waste and create new business opportunities – so that what is waste in one place can become a resource in another.
The goal is to help transition Denmark to a circular and resource-efficient economy by executing a strong and impactful portfolio of value chain collaborations. Overall, the initiative aims to make a significant contribution to reducing companies’ resource consumption and waste volumes.
At the same time, the program serves as a model for both Danish and international actors to implement similar initiatives.
The ambition is to be a key contributor to Denmark achieving a more effective circular transition and meeting its climate goals for 2030.
