E-zavod supports communities and companies in the transition to a circular economy through cooperation with RRA Podravje Maribor in the European Commission's CCRI (Circular Cities & Regions Initiative), where Podravje was chosen as one of the twelve pilot communities committed to the transition to circular economy with the expert support of the European Commission (https://circular-cities-and-regions.ec.europa.eu/pilots/podravje-maribor). In the process, we designed several circular system solutions (CSS) in the field of bioeconomy, such as the circular production of fertilizers, the use of river sediments, the use of purified wastewater in agriculture, and similar. More information is available in the document below - Regional strategy for the transition to a circular bioeconomy of Podravje 2023-2030.
E-zavod also supports the circular economy by implementing various projects in the field of using waste-heat (www.waste-heat.eu), introducing circular principles in cities (CITYCIRCLE https://programme2014-20.interreg-central.eu/Content.Node/CITYCIRCLE.html), circular management of food scraps (CEFoodCycle) and the like.
At the beginning of 2023, E-zavod became a member of the ACR+ network (https://www.acrplus.org), which complements our activities in the field of circular economy. ACR+ is an international network of cities and regions that share the goal of promoting sustainable resource management and accelerating the transition to a circular economy. E-zavod is also a member of the Climate KIC, in which he also held the role of coordinator of the national hub for two years (www.climatehub.si).
