Circular Ports

Circular Ports provides transferable concepts and shares lessons learned to enable replication and scaling up within the Baltic Sea Region. By fostering collaboration between port stakeholders, the project aims to create synergies that enhance resource efficiency, reduce waste, and improve sustainability in ports.

Centrum Balticum will take care of the project communication.

The project works towards:

• Establishing a sound data basis for circular economy activities in ports.

• Identifying synergies between different producers and industries in port areas, fostering industrial symbiosis.
• Exploring business cases that support circular economy strategies.
• Working with waste disposal companies to enhance separate waste collection and recycling.
• Encouraging systemic changes in port communities to promote sustainable waste management.
• Assessing regulatory frameworks to improve the deployment of circular economy initiatives.
• Engaging port stakeholders through communication activities to facilitate the adoption of circular practices.

Circular Ports engages a variety of stakeholders, such as port authorities, businesses and local public authorities.

The lead partner is Port of Hamburg Marketing and the project is supported by a consortium of 17 partners from countries around the Baltic Sea.
