TREASoURcE is part of the EU’s Circular Cities and Regions Initiative, which aims to support the implementation of circular economy solutions throughout Europe’s cities and regions.

Our project focuses on developing technologies and systemic circular economy solutions for currently underutilised or unused plastic waste, end-of-life electric vehicle batteries, and bio-based side and waste streams.

By working with companies, societies – including citizens, consumers, communities, and regional actors, and experts in the field, we hope to significantly increase product and material circulation in the Nordic and Baltic Sea Regions.
