The main result achieved with the execution of this proposal has been the definition of new circular economy models that interconnect the four sectors involved (automotive/transport, footwear, textile, and toy), enabling the utilization of different multi-component materials obtained from the processing of waste in these sectors. For this purpose, the CIRCULAR INDUSTRY CV demonstrator was employed and optimized to enhance its efficacy and efficiency in obtaining higher-quality waste fractions, which has facilitated their subsequent repurposing through various processes to create valuable materials.

Today, given the rising cost of raw materials, the need to reduce external dependency for material supply is especially relevant, making any initiative aimed at this objective particularly valuable.

Therefore, now that the CIRCULAR INDUSTRY-CV technological demonstrator has been developed, it is essential to further improve its performance and expand its capabilities and versatility for other types of multi-component waste, such as those derived from the automotive/transport sector. Optimizing the demonstration plant has thus been another of the outcomes achieved.

Additionally, the circularity studies carried out strengthen synergies among the sectors involved, adding robustness to the cohesion and interrelation within the region, thereby fostering the development of a sustainable economic model that is inspired by the principles of the circular economy and industrial symbiosis
