Project description

The Interreg MED INCIRCLE project builds up on previous projects (BLUE ISLANDS, EMBLEMATIC, CASTWATER, MITOMED, ALTERECO LOCATIONS, AcT4LITTER), capitalizing knowledge and available tools to test a new methodology that applies the principles of circular economy to the tourism sector, with a focus on the needs of islands and low density areas.

INCIRCLE tailored policies address mobility, energy efficiency, use of limited resources as water and waste production, while enhancing community prosperity and quality of life.
