🌍 Meet some of the CIRCULOOS Open Call #2 Winners
Four game-changing projects driving circular innovation in European manufacturing
We’re proud to spotlight the winners of CIRCULOOS Open Call #2 – four visionary consortia tackling industrial waste and sustainability challenges with powerful, tech-enabled solutions. Their experiments will contribute to CIRCULOOS by demonstrating real-life circular supply chains and validating digital tools like RAMP, GRETA, and the Supply Chain Orchestrator.
🔗 ISLOPOL (Greece) ISLOPOL is developing a blockchain-enabled digital product passport that tracks the full lifecycle of plastic products—from production and reuse to recycling. By ensuring traceability, data integrity, and transparency, the platform helps manufacturers and recyclers document circular processes, comply with EU regulations, and empower consumers with sustainability insights.
