We assist local authorities in the Baltic Sea Region in initiating, applying and managing projects on different sustainability topics. The themes and actions are tailor-made based on the needs of the project partners from local authorities to assist the ongoing processes towards sustainable development.

BALTIPLAST
Baltic Approaches to Handling Plastic Pollution under a Circular Economy Context
The project's main objective is to identify, test and deploy concrete solutions to handle and reduce the flow of plastic waste to the Baltic Sea, under the lenses of a circular economy. It will do so with the consortium of key actors in the plastic waste value chain, namely local authorities, universities and research institutions, associations and NGOs, as well as SMEs and large enterprises in the participating countries, that operate in the waste management field.
NonHazCity 3
Reducing hazardous substances in construction to safeguard the aquatic environment, protect human health and achieve more sustainable buildings
NonHazCity3 (NHC3) tackles the challenge of hazardous substances in buildings, building sites and building materials. The project will develop 4 solutions and pilot them, elaborate usable protocols to get these chemicals out of our homes and workplaces, and out of the (aquatic) environment, including the Baltic Sea. This project is for municipalities, private entrepreneurs and residents.
ChemClimCircle
Integrating criteria for chemicals, climate and circularity in procurement processes
ChemClimCircle combines the topics of chemicals, climate and circularity and will help municipalities to further develop their procurement strategy. The aim is to consider all three aspects already in the planning phase and to create an organisational structure that makes it possible to include more than just one sustainability goal in the procurement process.
