DESCRIPTION

TITLE: Ombruks Ekspressen Romsås

CONCEPT: A cross sectoral collaboration established to create and study new value chains through the reuse and redesign of waste materials, combined with local human competenc

This pilot is a cross-sectoral collaboration established to create and do research on new value chains through the reuse and redesign of materials that go astray, surplus material, and waste. It involves social entrepreneurs, volunteers, major actors such as NAV from the public sector. The role of Circular Ways is to see where in the emerging value chains there is a need for human competence, which can be filled by people outside the labor market.

LOCAL LANGUAGE DESCRIPTION: Norsk

Piloteringen er et tverrsektorielt samarbeid etablert for å skape og forske på nye verdikjeder gjennom ombruk og redesign av materialer på avveie, overskuddsmateriell og avfall. Her er det involvert sosial- entreprenører, frivilligheten og store aktører som NAV fra det offentlige. Rollen til Circular Ways er å se hvor i de nyoppståtte verdikjedene det finnes behov for menneskelig kompetanse, som kan fylles av mennesker i utenforskap.
