The ECOLE (Eco Industrial Park Network for the Alpine Regions Leveraging Smart and Circular Economy) project is committed to transforming industrial parks in the Alpine region into sustainable, resilient, and eco-friendly hubs, better prepared to face climate and economic crises. Co-funded by the European Union through the Interreg Alpine Space programme, ECOLE was launched on the 1rst of November 2022.

In the three years of cooperation, ECOLE aims to integrate circular economy principles into industrial operations by adopting a systemic thinking community model, thereby enhancing resource efficiency and reducing environmental impact. This initiative brings together industries, public authorities, and universities to co-design and implement action plans for a greener future.

Under the coordination of Consorzio ZAI Interpota Quadrante Europa, the project gathers 12 partners from 5 different countries from the Alpine Space Regions around a common ambition: accelerating the transition to a circular and resource-efficient industry in the Alps.
