The website is aimed at the business world but also at the support system, i.e. various actors and industrial organisations that promote entrepreneurship in 脰sterg枚tland.

The purpose of the project is to spread knowledge about circular economy and circular business models to various business actors, organisations and companies that operate within 脰sterg枚tland.

The intention is also to highlight good examples of companies that work with sustainability issues.

- We need to inform the support system so that those actors can then inform the companies, says Marianna Lena Kambanou, assistant university lecturer in industrial environmental technology, at the Department of Management and Engineering (IEI) at Link枚ping University.
