CirkArena is a planned modern centre supporting the circular economy in the Moravian-Silesian Region. Its main goal is to transform the region into a model of sustainable development, focusing on research and efficient use of industrial waste such as slag, dust, bio-waste and building materials. The project will contribute to the transformation of the region by maximising the use of secondary raw materials, promoting the sustainability and modernisation of businesses and linking industries, leading to a reduction in waste and promoting a circular economy. CirkArena is part of the wider SMARt And Green District (SMARAGD) initiative, which integrates materials, energy, environment and IT to ensure a sustainable future for the region.
