Switch to Circular Economy Value Chains
Добавлен 8 дек 2022
The SWITCH to Circular Economy Value Chains (SWITCH2CE) project aims to support MSME (micro-, small, and medium sized) suppliers in developing countries in the value chains of large EU manufacturers and buyers to jointly identify, adopt, and excel in circular economy practices in three selected value chains: plastic packaging, textiles, and ICT& electronics. SWITCH2CE supports and facilitates effective and replicable pilot projects that involve all relevant actors across selected value chains and enable enterprises to meet their circularity goals.
SWITCH2CE is co-funded by the European Union and the Government of Finland, and implemented by UNIDO, in collaboration with Chatham House, Circle Economy and EIB.
