CirkArena - Circular Economy R&D Centre

CirkArena is a planned modern centre 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 the efficient use of industrial waste such as slag, dust residues, biowaste and construction materials.

The project will contribute to the transformation of the region by maximising the use of secondary raw materials, supporting sustainability and enterprise modernisation, and strengthening inter-industry cooperation. These efforts will lead to a reduction in waste and further promote the 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. Link to the project website: https://cirkarena.cz/en
