The CircularPSP initiative, funded by the European Union's Horizon Europe, has officially opened its calls. This initiative is aimed at advancing the circular economy through innovative pre-commercial procurement processes. This forward-thinking program seeks to bridge the gap between research and market-ready solutions, encouraging public and private sector collaboration to develop sustainable, circular technologies and services.
The CircularPSP call is part of the EU's strategy to achieve a climate-neutral, resource-efficient economy, addressing critical areas such as waste reduction, resource efficiency, and sustainable product life cycles. By fostering collaboration between innovators, industry leaders, and public authorities, the initiative aims to catalyse the development of cutting-edge solutions that can be scaled and replicated across Europe and beyond.
Applicants are encouraged to propose projects that demonstrate tangible impacts in promoting circular economy principles, leveraging technology and innovation to solve complex environmental challenges. The call emphasises the importance of scalability, potential market impact, and the ability to address the needs of public sector procurers in driving the transition towards a greener, more sustainable future.
