Following the Projecte d’Especialització i Competitivitat Territorial «HubB30, més enllà de la circularitat», which aims to transform the territory around the B30 road axis, a participatory process was carried out with circularity experts and key actors in which the following strategic lines emerged. Some of them have sub-challenges, which can be solved with knowledge.
Program participants also have the option to propose solutions to their own waste-related challenges.
- Provide quality data in relation to the circular economy of the territory. In order to conduct studies at different scales, the data should be disaggregated, geographically and by sector.
- Create open and transparent databases, such as Open Circular Data, which functions as a real-time virtual observatory. The use of Big Data to face this challenge.
- Distribution of resources in a transparent and fair way, through a digital platform.
- Use of common tools for analyzing synergies and opportunities for industrial symbiosis, and input and output flows (energy, waste, water, sludge, AMB viewfinder type).
- Consumer collaboration strategies, retailers, recyclers and manufacturers to generate logistics systems for flexible plastic packaging that allow their recovery.
- Tool capable of evaluating the recyclability of containers according to design and material.
- Coatings that do not hinder the recycling of paper and cardboard.
- Redesign of plastic trays without absorbent sheet or made with the same material as the tray (single material).
- Transform organic waste into primary and secondary packaging.
- Bio-based inks, adhesives, binders or pigments.
- Biodegradation of polyurethanes in varnishes, lacquers or paints in wood products.
- Recycling and recovery of post-consumer SAN.
- Food sustainability.
- Automotive sector.
- Improve the formulation of mixtures of inks, hardeners and other materials that can be applied to textiles.
-
Promote the creation of spaces and infrastructures that catalyze the circular economy (repair cafes, library of things, FabLabs, spaces for experimentation with resources, etc.)
-
Optimize the efficiency in the use of the resources of the territory (materials, water, energy, spaces, knowledge).
-
Promote formal and informal education on circularity.
-
Promote a territorial rebalancing (economic, social and environmental). Connect and balance urban and rural space.
