The LIFE-IP CE Beyond Waste project aims to implement the Danish Action Plan for Circular Economy (APCE) in a way that reinforces and accelerates the shift to a circular economy, and keeps resources at the highest possible level of the waste hierarchy for as long as possible.
The three main objectives of the project are:
- Waste prevention: Prevent waste generation and reduce consumption of primary resources by introducing and integrating circular approaches in the actions and behaviour of public authorities, private enterprises as well as among citizens
- Circular waste management: Turn waste into resources by implementing circular economy practices in the treatment of waste, realize markets for reuse and secondary raw materials, and innovate waste monitoring to include effects of circularity and thus incentivize the circular economy
- Regulation: Improve the regulatory framework, governance, and incentives for circular economy, waste prevention and circular waste management, by identifying regulatory barriers to circularity and providing feedback and guidance to political and administrative decision-makers
