Deploying circular economy in port environments
Circular Ports

New video: This is Circular Ports

08 October 2026
What if more materials could be kept in circulation in port environments? Our new This is Circular Ports video takes you on a journey around the Baltic Sea Region to explore this question through six different pilot cases.
Technical details

 

Every day, large amounts of materials move through and are handled in ports. Bringing together different industries, actors and material streams, port environments offer many opportunities to rethink how resources are used, reused and recycled.

 

Six pilots around the Baltic Sea Region

Circular Ports is putting these opportunities into practice through six pilots in different port environments around the Baltic Sea Region.

In Aalborg, the focus is on construction and building materials, while Hamburg explores circular solutions for ship and boat recycling. Lappeenranta looks at material flows and opportunities for industrial symbioses, and Tallinn works to increase the recycling of waste recycling on ships. In Norrköping, the pilot explores new waste streams for recycling, while Gdynia focuses on the circular management of bulk cargo spillages.

Different challenges and different approaches, but all share the same goal: keeping resources in circulation for longer.

The new This is Circular Ports video brings these six pilots together and introduces the people and ideas behind the work taking place across the project.
