The ten best innovations for cooperation between science and business in the field of circular economy will receive financial support in the form of “circular vouchers” worth $10,000 each, to be implemented in practice.

These innovations will contribute to a more efficient use of resources and energy, as well as the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. They were selected as part of the Public Call announced by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), with the support of the Global Environment Facility (GEF).

The selected solutions include recommendations for the reuse of waste in the production of cosmetic products, the production of new materials for the construction industry, and recommendations for the monitoring of water systems.

The list of initiatives awarded circular vouchers, as well as all received proposals, can be viewed HERE.

Circular vouchers will be awarded as part of the project “Reducing the carbon footprint of local communities by applying the principles of the circular economy in the Republic of Serbia – Circular Communities”, which is being implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in partnership with the Ministry of Environmental Protection and with financial support from the GEF.
