"The exhibition shows the possibilities of the circular economy and how they can be applied in products or services. We often think of recycling as the only way to close materials loops and to prevent a loss of resources, but circular economy already begins at the product design phase. At the same time, entrepreneurs can get inspiring ideas on how companies turned the concept into business models", says SBA‘s MOVECO project manager Tomáš Kolenčík.

Displaying best practice products, the MOVECO exhibition shows, how companies from the Danube region are successfully putting the vision of a resource-efficient circular economy in the practice. We - twelve MOVECO project partners and four strategic partners from ten countries in the Danube region - are working together to promote knowledge about the circular economy and to improve the framework conditions for circular products and business models in the Danube region.
Trendy bags made of old police uniforms, reusable and eco-friendly plastic moving boxes for rent, modern Bluetooth speakers from vintage radios - these are some innovative alternatives to the current linear ‘throwaway” economy'.
With the exhibition, we provide general information on the circular economy, the EU project MOVECO and the partner organizations involved in the project. Moreover, by displaying circular products and solutions, the exhibition addresses not only people who are already familiar with the concept of circular economy.
The exhibition itself follows a 'zero-waste' approach with modular design: basically, it consists of reusable crates, wooden boards and cable ties - so that much of the materials can easily be returned to the economic cycles at the end of the exhibition.
