SYMCRAFT project aims to advance circularity in the agro-food, textile, and wood/furniture sectors by designing resource-efficient business ecosystems. Through symbiotic craft practices, the project fosters sustainable economies across Central Europe. The main objectives of the SYMCRAFT project are: 1. To promote the circular economy in Central Europe: The project focuses on promoting the circular economy in Central Europe by utilising the craft sector (including craft SMEs and socially innovative craft practises) to foster industrial symbiosis. 2. Building bridges between crafts and industry: SYMCRAFT aims to demonstrate how craft creativity can contribute to the circular economy, particularly in the textiles, wood/furniture and agri-food sectors. 3. Extending industrial symbiosis beyond industry: SYMCRAFT expands the concept of industrial symbiosis to include other social practises and economic processes, promoting a holistic approach to the circular economy. 4. Addressing fragmented approaches to the circular economy: The project aims to overcome the fragmentation of the circular economy, where medium to large companies apply formalised strategies while smaller production units rely on spontaneous, informal approaches. 5. Creating cross-border cooperation: SYMCRAFT promotes strategic opportunities for cooperation between economic sectors that are territorially close to each other and that have previously had limited opportunities for co-operation. Favouring different stakeholder groups: • Medium to large industries: Gain creative solutions to implement circular practises. • Craft SMEs: Discover sustainable ways to grow their business. • Non-profit organisations, local authorities and citizens: Benefit from the expanded social networks fostered by the craft sector. The project will deliver the following: • 1 strategy and 1 action plan. • 3 pilot actions focussing on reuse, eco-business models and cooperation agreements. • 3 solutions for waste reuse, innovative business models and co-operation models. • A cross-border network to continue co-operation after the end of the project.
