This achievement marks a significant step in integrating circular economy principles into the mechanical sector, fostering sustainability and resource efficiency.
Through a structured methodology—defining target companies, conducting assessments, launching regional open calls, and fostering collaboration—REUSE2030 has built a strong network of businesses committed to reducing industrial waste and improving environmental practices.
Key findings include:
- Country Engagement: Companies from 9 European countries have joined the initiative.
- Sector Representation: The highest participation comes from metal products manufacturing (C25 – 29 companies) and rubber & plastic products manufacturing (C22 – 27 companies).
- Waste Management: Metal waste (47 companies) is the most prevalent category, highlighting opportunities for improved recycling and reuse strategies.
This milestone underscores the importance of industry-wide collaboration in driving circular economy solutions.
The engagement process remains ongoing as the project continues expanding its impact across the mechanical sector.
