The Southwest region of Finland has put forward a circular economy roadmap, developed under the framework of the CIRCWASTE project, to carry out the national waste plan. Regional objectives and corresponding strategies were developed by an expert network, assembled by the Finnish Environment Institute, which was comprised of representatives from multiple towns, educational institutions, regional councils and private companies. Priorities emerged in the areas of construction, biodegradable waste, nutrient reuse and municipal waste. Targets include increasing the use of construction and demolition waste to 70%, increasing the rate of organic waste recycling to 60% and increasing recycling of municipal waste to 55%. The roadmap also intends to catalyse circular on-the-job training, especially in the construction sector.
