The FORCE project aims to minimise the leakage of materials from the linear economy and work towards a circular economy.
The four cities involved in the project, Copenhagen, Hamburg, Lisbon and Genoa, will engage enterprises, citizens and academia in 16 participatory value chain based partnerships to create and develop eco-innovative solutions.
Each city will establish a lead partnership for one of the four materials: plastic waste, strategic metals from electronic and electric equipment, surplus food and biowaste, and wood waste. Each city will also establish three local partnerships for the other materials.
