Short abstract

Circularity is an essential aspect of the industry transformation towards resource-efficiency, climate neutrality and long-term competitiveness. It can produce substantial material savings along value chains and production processes, generate added value and unlock economic opportunities. Potentially, a change of business models to circularity could lead to both an environmental and an economic win-win result: products having a longer life, waste products being recycled/refurbished and offered on the market as new rather than created from scratch, product components being re-used rather than produced from primary materials, etc. The RESOURVE project focusses on providing regional project development assistance for the uptake of an Aragonese circular economy.

Project description

Circularity is an essential aspect of the industry transformation towards resource-efficiency, climate neutrality and long-term competitiveness. The RESOURCE project will study the private funding opportunities needed in circular projects and facilitate those projects’ development by developing new PDA (Project Development Assistance) services.

More precisely RESOURCE will:

• Build an integrated expertise pool to support technically, economically, and legally the regional circular economy pilots SMEs,
• Develop innovative financing schemes and business models;
• Facilitate concrete investments.

While choosing a circular economy as a priority, the Region of Aragon has identified a portfolio of circular pilot-projects that need funding. Those pilots will serve as pilots in the RESOURCE project as bootstraps to ensure a solid and sustainable circular-friendly ecosystem in Aragon and ultimately ensure a high degree of replicability of the PDA and related services beyond the Aragon Region.
