Cities Cooperating for Circular Economy

Descrizione del progetto

Interrompere il ciclo dei rifiuti con una soluzione di economia circolare

In un mondo alle prese con le sfide ambientali, la dispersione di materiali dall’economia lineare emerge come un problema urgente. In questo contesto, il progetto FORCE, finanziato dall’UE, intende rivoluzionare la gestione dei rifiuti e promuovere l’eco-innovazione, guidandoci verso un’economia circolare. Coinvolgendo città, imprese, cittadini e mondo accademico in 16 partenariati partecipativi della catena del valore, il progetto svilupperà soluzioni praticabili. FORCE infatti, concentrandosi su quattro materiali chiave (plastica flessibile, metalli, rifiuti di legno e rifiuti organici) cerca di dimostrare le potenzialità delle pratiche circolari. Con la creazione di 10 nuovi mercati finali, un modello di governance per le città e l’utilizzo dei megadati, il progetto FORCE ci proietta verso un futuro in cui la sostenibilità e la crescita verde sono in primo piano.

Obiettivo

The overall objective is to minimise the leakage of materials from the linear economy and work towards a circular economy. Specific objectives are to:
• Engage cities, enterprises, citizens and academia in 16 participatory value chain based partnerships to create and develop eco-innovative solutions together.
• Develop 10 viable end-markets by demonstrating new applications for plastic waste, metals (EEE devices), biowaste and wood waste.
• Develop a governance model for cities based on value chain based partnerships.
• Develop decision support tools and assess the actual impact by use of Big Data.
• Ensure replication through the FORCE Academy aiming at enterprises, citizens and policy makers.
The eco-innovative solutions will be demonstrated across four cities (Copenhagen, Hamburg, Lisbon and Genoa) and using the four materials:
Flexible plastics: Recycling and upgrade of 5,000 tonnes of flexible plastic from enterprises and private households will enable virgin material substitution, corresponding to preventing emissions of 12,500 tonnes of CO2.
Metals: Citizens will be mobilised to reclaim an additional 2 kg/capita of WEEE (app. 3,600 tonnes). A communication campaign will reach 100,000 citizens and support at least five SME’s that repair damaged EEE devices so that 10-20% of the collected WEEE can be redistributed.
Wood waste: additional 12,000 tonnes wood waste from urban and mountain areas will be collected. 8-10,000 tonnes of brushwood will be used for compost production, and 14-16,000 tonnes will be processed into wood particles.
Biowaste: around 7,000 tonnes of biowaste from the municipal mixed waste stream will be recovered: 3,000 tonnes coming from restaurants and hotels, and 4,000 tonnes coming from households.

The partnerships will result in the creation of viable eco-innovative market solutions, exploited by the partners. Replication in other cities will be incentivised thus ensuring competitiveness of European Circular Economy and green growth.
