MOVECO - Transnational reports on circular economy

28-02-2018

The MOVECO project published two transnational reports on circular economy in the countries of the Danube region:  

Transnational report on research and development activities in circular economy

This report gives an overview on the strategic circular economy documents prepared at EU level as well as in the countries and regions in the Danube region on the transition to a circular economy. Moreover it provides information on private and public research and development (R&D) organisations offering services for the transition to the circular economy.

Transnational report on extended producer responsibility schemes and their influence on innovation

The objective of this overview is to ascertain, if any links exist between the extended producer responsibility (EPR) schemes established in the Danube region and product design, with emphasis on eco-design and design supporting innovation for transition towards a circular economy.

The scope of the study is centred on extended producer responsibility schemes for packaging and packaging waste, waste electronic and electrical equipment and batteries and accumulators. The study gives a general overview and a chapter with more detailed description of current practices and extended producer responsibility characteristics for each partner country. Each national chapter is concluded by a good practice example relevant to EPR schemes and innovation and eco-design for the circular economy. The good practices are accessible in the national studies and in the project brochure “Your trash is my treasure”.
