Background
The circular economy is fundamental to adapting production and consumption towards a sustainable future. It’s also a significant opportunity for Finland to create new business, jobs, and improve well-being. The circular economy is particularly important for Uusimaa, where most of Finland’s material flows are generated and where there is a large amount of residual industrial and waste streams that can be harnessed for the circular economy. WeCircle – Sustainable Growth from the Circular Economy is devoted to getting industrial SMEs in the Porvoo economic area to switch to the circular economy while simultaneously helping key companies in the Kilpilahti industrial area make the green transition, by linking their future needs with potential new business opportunities for the Porvoo SMEs. This work supports the carbon neutrality goals of the City of Porvoo and places Uusimaa at the vanguard of the circular economy.
