Green circle
Circular economy in South Tyrol
We're rethinking: everyone is needed on the path to a functioning circular economy. Whether waste disposal, construction, trade, retail, hotels or catering - sustainable approaches to recycling or waste prevention can be found in every industry. In addition to the companies themselves, numerous initiatives are also working on practical contributions to the South Tyrolean circular economy here in the province. The Circular Food Hub, for example, develops regional pilot projects that focus on reducing food waste and the goal of zero food waste in the catering industry. Other projects support the construction sector in becoming more resource-efficient.
Sustainable change is also underway in tourism - for example in accommodation that carries a sustainability label or in restaurants that focus on regional cuisine and waste as little food as possible. Holiday resorts and destinations have also embarked on this journey and are making their efforts visible through internationally recognised sustainability certificates.
