On 18 October, 13 partners from 6 EU Member States conducted the kick-off meeting of the European Project ‘LOOP-Ports – Circular Economy Network of Ports’ in Valencia. The main goal of the LOOP-Ports project is to facilitate the transition to a more circular economy in the port sector, where products, materials and resources are maintained in the economy for as long as possible, and the waste generation minimized.
This project, coordinated by the Port of Valencia and funded by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) through the EIT Climate-KIC initiative, will run for 26 months, ending in November 2020.
