OMLAS Project : Circular Pathways Initiative

The Circular Pathways Initiative supports enterprises transitioning towards a circular economy by addressing their unique challenges with tailored solutions and creating a robust network of circular practices within their industries. The initiative begins with assessing participating organizations to develop customized action plans, followed by assembling a multidisciplinary team of experts to provide continuous support. Implementation support includes hands-on assistance and troubleshooting, while a collaborative platform allows enterprises to share experiences and best practices. Regular monitoring and evaluation track progress and identify improvements, with successful case studies promoting the initiative to a broader audience. The ultimate goal is to create a ripple effect leading to systemic change across industries, enhancing the adoption of circular economy practices, reducing waste and resource consumption, and fostering innovation and collaboration. The project will be implemented across China. She will be focusing on the Sustainable Development Goals; SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production, SDG 13: Climate Action, SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals.
