MOVECO - On the road & getting in touch with people!

02-11-2018

These are exciting and dynamic times for the MOVECO project: In order to promote and foster the circular economy in the Danube region, we are on the road and getting in touch with people across the Danube region countries. The goal is to pilote our circular economy toolbox. This article shortly presents recent activities from the German MOVECO partners the Cluster of Environmental Technology Bavaria and the Bavarian Research Alliance (BayFOR).

Congress on sustainable building and construction in Essen

On 16 October 2018, a congress in Essen took place on sustainable building and recycling in the construction industry. The all-day event bundled political, social, economic and ecological as well as planning-technical aspects of a deliberately waste avoidance strategy within the construction industry.

The project MOVECO, dedicated to the circular economy, was invited to present its recently launched platform www.danube-goes-circular.eu with its marketplace that allows industrial symbiosis by exchanging secondary products and raw materials.
