CirkArena is a planned modern center supporting the circular economy in the Moravian-Silesian Region. Its main goal is to transform the region into a model of sustainable development, focused on research and efficient use of industrial waste such as slag, dust, bio-waste and construction materials.
The project will contribute to the transformation of the region by maximizing the use of secondary raw materials, supporting the sustainability and modernization of enterprises, and connecting industries, which will lead to a reduction in waste and support a circular economy. CirkArena is part of the broader SMARt And Green District (SMARAGD) initiative, which integrates the areas of materials, energy, environment and IT with the aim of ensuring a sustainable future for the region. More information about the initiative can be found here: https://www.smaragdova.cz/. This project is co-financed by the European Union.
