NEW_INNONET & CIRCULAR ECONOMY
WHO SHOULD GET INVOLVED
NEW_INNONET AIMS
WHATYOU CAN DO
WHATYOU WILL GAIN
NEW_InnoNet is an initiative to establish a European
stakeholder platform under the flag of the EU
Programme Horizon 2020. New_InnoNet will bring
stakeholders together to develop a European
StrategicResearchandInnovationAgenda,describing
economic opportunities for a sustainable future.
New_InnoNet’s initial focus is on three pre-selected
waste streams, improving their environmental and
economic potential:
Waste from Electronics and Electric
Equipment (WEEE)
Plastic packaging waste from consumers
End-of-LifeVehicles (ELV)
Everybody who sees himself or herself as someone
with a stake in reaching the circular economy objec-
tives is invited to get involved. In particular, we invite
the following organisations: industry manufactures
related to EEE/ Automotive/ FMCG sectors, decision
makers and financial bodies, waste management
companies, producers of recycled intermediates, pac-
kaging manufacturers, technology and solution pro-
viders, R&D units and academia, standardization and
certification bodies, recyclers.
An EU platform to promote your views
regarding the economy of the future towards EU
decision-makers and funders.
Creating new, sustainable business relations
in various domains (whether it be plastic
packaging, electronics and ICT, automotive
or beyond) and easy networking for project
building
Knowledge on funding and business
opportunities related to bottlenecks in the
material loops

regarding circular economy to align your
organisation’s strategy
Support offered by the platform such as funding
opportunities, project development assistance
