LaNDER³ honored after accompanying research by the BBSR
The Federal Institute for Research on Building, Urban Affairs and Spatial Development (BBSR) supported LaNDER³ in the research project "Potential of the circular economy for rural development in Germany and Europe" and declared it a regional showcase project.
The project focused on regions that are already successfully implementing systemic circular economy approaches. In particular, the success factors and mechanisms of the circular economy were examined. Decisions were made based on various criteria such as the existence of closed material cycles, regional implementation strategies, location in rural areas and existing stakeholder diversity.
LaNDER³ is thus one of five regional flagship projects nationwide. The holistic, regional approach, from fiber production to material and technology development to recycling, as well as the formation of a regional network involving scientific institutions and regional companies, associations and municipal administrations, was particularly convincing.
