| Project Highlights | - Food Win (Matvinn): From food waste to food win! Here we help municipalities to reduce their food waste in different organisations; from kindergarten to nursing homes. - The circular team (Sirkellaget) is a project where we have the municipality, the county council, the regional renovation company, among others, as partners. A good example of how we as an NGO collaborate with counties/municipalities/business to mobilise citizens and test circular business model in our local community - Circularity is a project where we test out Circular economy in practice and find more circular solutions in collaboration with high school students (Sirkulær) |
