General objectives: The Circular Ports project aims to deploy circular economy practices in port environments across the Baltic Sea Region by identifying and unlocking circular synergies between ports, cities and industries. It develops transferable tools and methodologies - covering material flow analysis, stakeholder collaboration, business models and procurement - to enable climate-neutral, resource-efficient port ecosystems.
