We are excited to announce the results of our second open call aimed at supporting European SMEs from the EU27 in their circular economy projects.
Following a competitive selection process, grants have been awarded to 40 SMEs spanning 14 EU countries and various sectors to support their projects.
A diverse range of selected projects will now move forward with groundbreaking ideas that turn waste into value, extend product lifecycles, and close material loops across multiple industries.
These selected projects cover everything from circular food systems and sustainable packaging to greener manufacturing, construction, and digital platforms that make circularity more accessible. They transform local agricultural by-products, textiles, electronics, industrial waste, and everyday materials into valuable new resources — keeping materials in use longer and designing out waste from the start.
For more information about the selected SMEs and their projects, please check the lists:
Congratulations to all the selected projects — we look forward to seeing the impact of your circular solutions!
We encourage all interested SMEs to stay tuned for other initiatives within our project.
