The circular economy is at the top of Europe’s political agenda. With the
\nEuropean Green Deal all member states strive for a CO2-neutral, environmentally
\nfriendly, pollution-free and complete circular economy. Within the framework of
\nInterreg VI, project partners have also come forward who want to contribute to
\nthis, because this challenge plays a major role in the economy on both sides of
\nthe border. The Chamber of Crafts Münster, the County of Grafschaft Bentheim,
\nOost NL, Stichting Kiemt, Saxion and various Dutch and German SMEs will work
\ntogether to stimulate the conversion process to a circular economy in the
\nGerman-Dutch border region and to support the economy in this process.
\nThrough various project measures, the development towards new circular
\nprocesses
\nand business models in SMEs will be stimulated. The project partners
\nexpect to
\nreach a total of 500 companies in the border region with a Quick Scan
\nduring
\nthe project period, making them aware of the importance of switching to a
\ncircular economy. With this Quick Scan, companies from the wood,
\nelectrical,
\nplastics processing, metal and mechanical engineering, and construction
\nand
\nfinishing industries can find out where they currently stand in terms of
\nthe
\ncircular economy and where improvements can be made. They can then
\nconnect and
\npartner with a knowledge institution, supply chain partner or other
\nsimilar
\ncompanies. In this partnership, they launch their own projects that
\naddress,
\namong other things, the efficient use of resources, the conversion of
\nmaterial
\nuse to a circular approach, and the reduction of waste to the greatest
\nextent
\npossible. The first 5 of these projects have been in active
\nimplementation since the first half of 2025. In training courses,
\ncompanies learn about the design principles and
\nbusiness models of the circular economy. In addition, they can adopt
\nthem
\ndirectly into concrete plans for their own products and services.
\nFurthermore, tutorials for SMEs on various current
\ntopics are made available. Through these tutorials, companies can gain
\nadditional valuable insights that will enable them to become more circularly
\noriented. Possible topics for these tutorials include financing, laws and
\nregulations, circular business models, circular innovation, or cross-border
