The eastern region of North Karelia, Finland, developed and implemented a circular economy roadmap in 2018 under the framework of the CIRCWASTE project. The primary objectives include improving material and energy efficiency, as well as natural resource use, incorporate circular strategies into industrial production in key sectors and strengthen industry cooperation in the region, and bolster new circular business models while further developing technological solutions. Efforts will also be made to improve knowledge and attitudes among consumers, as regarding waste production and management. Another key area of focus will be the reuse of construction and demolition waste, including training on waste management and reuse for companies in the sector. The plan also hopes to improve municipal waste management, focusing on creating more efficient collection networks as well as creating incentives and implementing monitoring systems. Strategies will be implemented along different timeframes until 2030.
