REUSE2030 – REshaping Central Europe IndUstry Sustainability through circular Economy models by 2030

The REUSE2030 project promotes the circular economy in mechanical engineering through innovative solutions to reduce waste.

The manufacturing industry in Central Europe consumes many resources, yet only recycles around 12% of them. To improve the circular economy, waste streams must be better understood and new solutions developed.

As part of the REUSE2030 project, two practical digital tools have been developed to help companies in mechanical engineering and related industries such as metalworking, plastics, and automotive engineering integrate greater sustainability into their processes: the Digital Circular Inventory and the Zero Carbon Tool.

The Digital Circular Inventory provides best-practice examples, case studies, and learning resources, particularly to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) integrate sustainable solutions into their business processes and the circular economy.

The Zero Carbon Tool helps companies identify their greatest environmental impacts and savings potential, and implement targeted measures sustainably.

Both tools have now been completed and are ready for the testing phase!

Test our tools now and discover how you can make your company more sustainable.

We look forward to your feedback!

This project is supported by the Interreg CENTRAL EUROPE PROGRAMME, co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund.

The overarching goal of REUSE2030 is to promote the adoption of circular economy principles by the mechanical engineering sector at EU level. As a project partner, we will actively support the achievement of these objectives and ensure that the results benefit our Styrian exporters.

To achieve the project objectives, we work together with the following European partners:

  • ECOLE – Enti Confindustriali Lombardi per l’Education SCARL | Italy (IT)
  • Deggendorf Institute of Technology | Germany (DE)
  • South – Transdanubian Regional Innovation Agency | Hungary (HU)
  • Pomurije Technology Park | Slovenia (SI)
  • Technical University of Kosice – SK | Slovakia (SK)
  • Public Institution RERA S.D. for Coordination and Development of Split Dalmatia County | Croatia (HR)
  • Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia | Slovenia (SI)
  • DEX Innovation Centre | Czech Republic (CZ)
  • Research and Innovation Centre Pro-Akademia | Poland (PL)
