The call for proposals was launched by the European Commission to help the candidate country prepare for accession.<br \/>\nThis is the first time that the Hungarian government has delegated project management of a European Union-funded twinning project in the field of circular economy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">During the programme, the Foundation&#8217;s staff, its foreign and domestic experts showcase the European best practices to the North Macedonian government, public administration, and major players in local waste management. The experts thoroughly examine the current situation, and based on the conclusions, design the most suitable, sustainable and efficiently operable waste management system for the beneficiary country. The two-year tasking launched in 2023 includes IT background development, elaboration of detailed money and material flow, the construction of legal, structural and operational mechanisms, and the preparation of procurement announcements.<br \/>\nAs a result of the project, the Foundation laid the legal and technical basis for a functioning system and provided the tools to develop the necessary capacity in human resources.<br \/>\nThe project&#8217;s overall goal was to create an efficient, effective, and accountable recycling sector in North Macedonia, in line with the principles of a circular economy.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<div class=\"ult_row_spacer\"><div class=\"ult-sticky-anchor\"><div class=\"ult-sticky-section ult-sticky \"  data-gutter= '130' data-stick_behaviour= 'stick_with_scroll_row'  data-sticky_position= 'top' data-mobile='no' data-support='no'><style type=\"text\/css\" data-type=\"the7_shortcodes-inline-css\">.shortcode-single-image-wrap.shortcode-single-image-ef438ee4bb32617e71508394eeeb62ee.enable-bg-rollover .rollover i,\n.shortcode-single-image-wrap.shortcode-single-image-ef438ee4bb32617e71508394eeeb62ee.enable-bg-rollover .rollover-video i {\n  background: -webkit-linear-gradient();\n  background: linear-gradient();\n}\n.shortcode-single-image-wrap.shortcode-single-image-ef438ee4bb32617e71508394eeeb62ee .rollover-icon {\n  font-size: 32px;\n  color: #ffffff;\n  min-width: 44px;\n  min-height: 44px;\n  line-height: 44px;\n  border-radius: 100px;\n  border-style: solid;\n  border-width: 0px;\n}\n.dt-icon-bg-on.shortcode-single-image-wrap.shortcode-single-image-ef438ee4bb32617e71508394eeeb62ee .rollover-icon {\n  background: rgba(255,255,255,0.3);\n  box-shadow: none;\n}<\/style><div class=\"shortcode-single-image-wrap shortcode-single-image-ef438ee4bb32617e71508394eeeb62ee alignnone  enable-bg-rollover dt-icon-bg-off\" style=\"margin-top:0px;

Circular economy in the textile and fashion value chains<\/h3>\n<p>The international project was launched in March 2024, focusing on reducing textile waste. Within the framework of TEX-DAN project, which is supported by the Danube Region Programme, the Blue Planet Climate Protection Foundation works with international partners to promote a circular economy in the textile and fashion industry value chains.<br \/>\nFourteen partners from 11 countries and an additional seven associated partners participate in this cooperation, dealing with a long-standing challenge. The programme will identify regional challenges and good practices in the textile and fashion industry and develop solutions and pilot projects. The project&#8217;s primary goals are to apply circular solutions in textile and fashion value chains, modernise local, regional and national policies that promote circularity, and boost transnational cooperation and knowledge exchange. We aim to develop an open, transnational platform for cooperation involving key stakeholders of the Danube region. Our target groups and partners include SMEs whose main activities are design, production and recycling, regional development and innovation agencies, policymakers, textile associations and clusters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lead partner<\/strong>: South Transdanubian Regional Innovation Agency;<br \/>\n<strong>Duration:<\/strong> 30 months[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1745832455331{margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 75px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 50px !important;padding-right: 5px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;padding-left: 5px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;border-radius: 20px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;box-shadow-design featured-box right-image-box&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1636475375443{padding-right: 65px !important;padding-left: 65px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1745320935699{margin-bottom: 40px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;after-line-left font-size-medium&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>SpongeCity<\/h3>\n<p>A sponge city is an urban area designed to cope with extreme rainfalls using various techniques. It mitigates or prevents urban floods by allowing the area to absorb water naturally. It reduces the extent of impermeable surfaces and increases the amount of absorbent land: green spaces, green walls, bioswales, inner-city lakes, rain gardens, and permeable pavements. Supplementing this approach with channelling and storage systems also helps to counter water shortages. The project analyses the hydroclimatic characteristics and water management practices of 12 pilot settlements, sets up a toolbox to support the planning of sponge city measures, tests and promotes the tools by participative elaboration of local action plans, feasibility studies, and demonstration investments. Partners mainstream the results to national and EU levels.[\/vc_column_text]<style type=\"text\/css\" data-type=\"the7_shortcodes-inline-css\">#default-btn-a8867e5fe0f0e8a17809717f51b93caa.ico-right-side > i {\n  margin-right: 0px;\n  margin-left: 8px;\n}\n#default-btn-a8867e5fe0f0e8a17809717f51b93caa > i {\n  margin-right: 8px;\n}<\/style><div class=\"btn-align-left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/interreg-danube.eu\/projects\/spongecity\" class=\"default-btn-shortcode dt-btn dt-btn-l link-hover-off \" target=\"_blank\" id=\"default-btn-a8867e5fe0f0e8a17809717f51b93caa\" title=\"SpongeCity\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span>Website<\/span><\/a><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<div class=\"ult_row_spacer\"><div class=\"ult-sticky-anchor\"><div class=\"ult-sticky-section ult-sticky \"  data-gutter= '130' data-stick_behaviour= 'stick_with_scroll_row'  data-sticky_position= 'top' data-mobile='no' data-support='no'><style type=\"text\/css\" data-type=\"the7_shortcodes-inline-css\">.shortcode-single-image-wrap.shortcode-single-image-a16204b6d46df6c22171da10c3651775.enable-bg-rollover .rollover i,\n.shortcode-single-image-wrap.shortcode-single-image-a16204b6d46df6c22171da10c3651775.enable-bg-rollover .rollover-video i {\n  background: -webkit-linear-gradient();\n  background: linear-gradient();\n}\n.shortcode-single-image-wrap.shortcode-single-image-a16204b6d46df6c22171da10c3651775 .rollover-icon {\n  font-size: 32px;\n  color: #ffffff;\n  min-width: 44px;\n  min-height: 44px;\n  line-height: 44px;\n  border-radius: 100px;\n  border-style: solid;\n  border-width: 0px;\n}\n.dt-icon-bg-on.shortcode-single-image-wrap.shortcode-single-image-a16204b6d46df6c22171da10c3651775 .rollover-icon {\n  background: rgba(255,255,255,0.3);\n  box-shadow: none;\n}<\/style><div class=\"shortcode-single-image-wrap shortcode-single-image-a16204b6d46df6c22171da10c3651775 alignnone  enable-bg-rollover dt-icon-bg-off\" style=\"margin-top:0px;

Introduction of circular economic models in regional value chains in the food, catering and packaging sector<\/h3>\n<p>The project builds on existing micro-circular economy models in the food, catering, and packaging sectors in Hungary, Slovenia, Poland, Italy, Czech Republic, Croatia, Germany, Austria, and Slovakia. The models utilised by CIREVALC are applied across the entire value chain. There are 10-15 key stakeholders in every region in these countries who are committed to implementing the project. The stakeholders (companies and local communities) are open to sharing their good practices with other industrial actors and are also committed to further developing their concepts and practices. As regional catalysts, project partners are responsible for the solutions reaching the policy level and act as nodes for regional initiatives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lead partner: <\/strong>South Transdanubian Regional Innovation Agency;<br \/>\n<strong>Duration:<\/strong> 36 months[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1745320742215{padding-bottom: 30px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Research, Studies<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221;
