“The most effective way for companies to transition from linear to circular business models is by collaborating within their value chains. ”

Målet er at bidrage til at omstille Danmark

Danmark er blandt de lande i verden, der er dårligst til cirkulær økonomi – kun 4% af vores forbrug kan relateres hertil.

Nogle brancher er særligt klimabelastende, og Closing Loops fokuserer derfor på byggeri, miljøteknologi, tekstil, møbler, fødevarer og bioressourcer.

I programmet inspirerer virksomheder hinanden på tværs og undersøger, om de kan hjælpes ad med at reducere affald og skabe nye forretningsmuligheder, så det, der er affald ét sted, kan blive en ressource et andet sted.

Målet er at bidrage til at omstille Danmark til en cirkulær og ressourceeffektiv økonomi ved at eksekvere en stærk og effektfuld portefølje af værdikædesamarbejder. Samlet skal indsatsen give et markant bidrag til reduktion af virksomheders ressourceforbrug og affaldsmængder.

Samtidig viser programmet vejen for både danske og internationale aktører til at gøre lignende tiltag.

Ambitionen er at være en vigtig bidragsyder til, at Danmark opnår en bedre cirkulær omstilling og opnår de opstillede klimamål for 2030.
