Towards a Circular Economy: CIRCO Program launched. As part of the Circular Wallonia strategy, the MecaTech Cluster has teamed up with Agoria, Eklo and Zero Waste Consult to offer a new edition of the CIRCO collaborative workshop program, a collective training course to develop a business opportunity supported by a circular design strategy.
Do you have a circular problem (material, process, end-of-life, CO impacts...) and don't know where to start?
Thanks to the CIRCO workshop program, you can identify an opportunity, build it with circularity in mind, and benefit from a selection bonus for the next "Proof of Circularity" call for projects with a coherent, well-constructed idea.
The aim is to give concrete meaning to the words "sustainable" and "circular", creating value for the company and its customers by rethinking the product for a longer life cycle.
Deliverable: a concrete circular proposal (eco-designed product, an additional service or a process improvement) with a circular business model including a reflection involving the value chain and a short-term action plan for implementation.
Practical details:
Maximum 10 companies per course, each working on its own proposal, with time for exchanges, experience sharing and networking.
A minimum of 2 people per company, with different profiles ("design" / "business" profiles) taking part in the course.
