Center IUS - Resource hubs: Sustainable change at a local and regional level

The resource hub functions as an organization where local and regional actors work together to jointly create efficient use of resources through, e.g., circular solutions and innovation.

The purpose of the hub is to be a catalyst for the development of sustainable, resource-efficient circular solutions between economic sectors, to share and gather knowledge, and to promote cooperation across value chains locally and regionally.

The resource hub's internal organization and the members' active participation drive the work within the hub and Symbiosis Sweden assists with the hub's framework and supports with expertise.

With the resource hub you get:

• Increased insights into local and regional resource flows

• Mapping of existing resource flows

• Proposals for measures for resource efficiency

• Matchmaking between similar companies' resources and needs

• Reduced waste and fewer residual products

• Collaboration between local and regional activities that work for sustainable resource use

• Collaboration and coordination of logistic solutions to create optimized resource efficiency

• A local/regional innovation platform for sustainable solutions
