Project Results

With the aim to raise awareness on effective waste management among employees of chambers of commerce, regional development agencies, local authorities and centres for entrepreneurship development, but also VET teachers, trainers and mentors, RAW will develop two main results.

Result 1 Guide on circular economy strategies in business environment

The first result defines the framework and content for the development of innovative and comprehensive waste management strategies in business environment.

The Guide will take the form of case studies by professionals already demonstrating a sustainable approach in their business activities and a straightforward methodology tackling efficient waste management included in a guide on circularity. Based on the guide, the RAW digital crash course will be developed.

The RAW training addresses the following topics

  1. Recycling from consumption
  2. Recycling from manufacturing
  3. Refurbishing/remanufacture (up-cycling)
  4. Reuse/ redistribution
  5. Usage optimization/maintenance
  6. Sustainable design
  7. Use waste as a resource

Result 2 Circular economy awareness app

Based on the first result, this mobile app will create awareness of the circular economy and the need to implement related measures in day-to-day activities of companies and organisations.

This app integrates three main parts:

  • Learning pills from the crash course, highlighting key messages and concepts. Each of the seven topics will have a short quiz to check the user’s knowledge on circular economy.
  • Strategy maker that will allow users to create their own personalised strategy to support the transition process of being more aware of the circular economy aspects, and learn what steps should be taken to implement or develop specific actions and attitudes.
  • Gamified footprint tracker tool that will show how the user’s actions translate, for example in terms of saving water.

In general, the innovative tools developed in the RAW project aim to raise awareness among the population and the business world of the need to take action and implement the circular economy in everyday life in order to achieve a real change that will have positive consequences on the environment.
