After four years on the Horizon 2020 funded project, Cities Cooperating for Circular Economy – FORCE, the cities of Copenhagen, Hamburg, Genoa and Lisbon and BLOXHUB invite you to a series of talks about plastic, metal/WEEE, surplus food and biowaste, and wood waste.

The aim of the project has been to set up value-chain based partnerships to develop 10 new circular solutions and viable end-market solutions. We would like to present the findings and discuss them with you – that is why we call them talks.

Selected outputs from the project include:

• new emerging technologies in bio-economy to develop high-value use such as single-cell Proteins, lactic acid and succinic acid from residues in wood and food industry, and from agriculture
• new collection schemes for WEEE, biowaste and wood waste
• a system to manage donors and receivers of surplus food (uncooked and cooked)
• 10 products and a food tray made from recycled post-consumer plastic waste
• repair cafés and reuse centres for electronic and electrical waste and for wood waste – also in COVID-19 times

The event is co-created between BLOXHUB, FORCE – Cities cooperating for circular economy and EU Horizon 2020.
