Territori B30

Circular B30

Territorial specialisation and competitiveness project (PECT, Projecte d’especialització i competitivitat territorial) with the goal of transforming the Mollet-Cerdanyola axis as a referent on circular economy through the quadruple helix collaboration.

Innovation for sustainability

Under the brand Circular B30, the project has determined the necessary steps to bring initiatives for the economic and sustainable transformation to the goal of zero waste into the territory. The B30 zone generates almost half of the industrial waste of the province of Barcelona and a quarter of the one in Catalonia.

The proposal is based on the concept of open research and innovation to combat many of the territorial challenges identified as a priority in matters of sustainability. This vision promotes cocreation and collaboration among different social sectors: citizens and users, research personnel, social entities, public authorities, the business sector, the creative sector, and entrepreneurs.

Participants

The project is coordinated by the Cerdanyola del Vallès Town Hall, and has the participation of the Mollet del Vallès Town Hall, the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, the UAB Research Park, ESADE, EURECATn and the Àmbit B30 Association.

Role of the UAB Research Park

The UAB and the UAB Research Park have the mission of defining the vision and shared agenda through participatory workshops among different actors and have created a map of the initiatives in the territory, both from the public and private sectors related to circular economy. Not only that, but we have identified the challenges within the field from which the project will work to find a solution. For exemple, they have created the Programa de Generació d'Idees to give skills to research personnel and generate projects to eliminate and revalue waste.
