1 CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND RESOURCE WISDOM in Southwest Finland

2 Circular economy A novel economic model that is regenerative and restorative by design. Finland in seeking to become a global leader in circular economy. Aims to keep and materials at their highest utility and value. Cuts across the whole society as a systemic change new jobs in Finland by (the Club of Rome)

3 A regional perspective The potential growth is linked into local and regional strenghts and conditions The solutions strenghten the economy and self-sufficiency of the region Added value is found when the side streams are being utilized within a near distance Bolstering the attractiveness of the region and its cities Though the great success stories happen in the global arenas, the stepping stones should be close. In order to create strong for export, domestic references are needed. Local potentials (natural resources, services, knowhow, material flows) need to be identified in order to reach economic growth in circular economy.

4 Why? Circular economy can not be achieved without true cooperation. You can not succeed on your own!

5 Southwest Finland The region is on the path to becoming carbon neutral The City of Turku aims to be carbon neutral by 2040 An ongoing energy transition The positive restructuring in the region Strong universities Ongoing projects concerning e.g. smart mobility and recycle of nutrients Strong clusters: Life Science and maritime technologies

6 Focus areas 1. SUSTAINABLE FOOD SYSTEM 2. TECHNICAL LOOPS 3. TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS 4. CROSS CUTTING THEMES SERVICIZING PUBLIC FACILITIES PUBLIC PROCUREMENT KNOW-HOW IN CHEMISTRY KNOW-HOW IN CHEMISTRY

7 Reduction of environmental impacts Attractiveness for tourists Nutrient neutrality Consumer Ruokakasvatus service design Use of biowaste Reduction of waste CONSUMER USE FROM COMPANY TO COMPANY Production of recycled nutrients PRIMARY SECTOR Nutrient Sustainable food system in circular economy Biogas MATERIAL PROCESSING DISTRIBUTION Use of manure MANU- FACTURING INDUSTRY Self suffiency Sustainable animal feed New Functional food Sources of protein Delivery platforms and services RETAIL Understanding the value chain Local seasonal Digital innovations

8 Carbon neutrality Sharing economy Consumer applications Enabling design CONSUMER Remanufacturing services USE PRIMARY SECTOR Knowledge of the materials and resources Technical loops in circular economy MATERIAL PROCESSING Technical education MANU- FACTURING INDUSTRY Renewble energy solutions New materials Industrial symbiosis Eco design Recognising the emerging streams Innovations in construction Control systems for production Business cooperation FROM COMPANY TO COMPANY DISTRIBUTION Reuse of materials Stronger clusters Attractive business environment Maintenance and repair Modular solutions RETAIL Product as a service Blue growth

9 Public sector as an enabler in circular economy The positive and enabling image of the area created by public actors and acquisitions creates an attractive and interesting platform for developing enterprises to try their new solutions.
