On April 21st 2023, Medwaves center hosted in Sant pau Recinte Modernista (Barcelona) “the circular economy co-creation workshop”, bringing together diverse stakeholders to explore sustainable solutions for a just transition towards circular economy in Catalonia. The workshop is part of the JUST2CE project funded by the European Union through the H2020 programme.

Around 50 participants from public institutions, civil society organisations, the private sector and academia worked together and created local scenarios that will pave the way for a greener future economy.

Among the private sector representatives, our Switchers Zicla and Meet&Map, along with other future Switchers Boscat, POPSICASE and Bumerang, contributed to the workshop by evaluating the main variables to implement circular economy practices capable of generating benefits for people, nature and the economy in Catalonia.

Zicla, with its award-winning product lines is also an excellent example of how green businesses contribute to make more sustainable cities. In fact, Zicla finds innovative ways to reduce and reuse urban waste, including creating mobility systems that encourage more sustainable behaviours.

The event was also an opportunity to meet with like-minded professionals sharing the same vision.
