Emmaus reuse centre, France

Can you advise on funding?   

Would you like to share advice and guidance regarding funding streams already helping to support and develop projects in the circular economy?

We are looking at developing local reuse centres that collect, receive, pre-process, sell and export reusable goods in developed countries to export to centres which will receive and further process goods for reuse in developing countries. 

We know that reuse centres exist already, and want to mainstream the circular economy as a main solution, one that will reduce climate change, increase employment, and deepen international cooperation. 

A: Europe Funding?

We are aware of funding organisations such as ERDF Interreg, who support local amenities, and LIFE or Horizon.

B: Outside Europe Funding

European external action funds through INTPA DevCo, UN programmes, USAID, GIZ, AFD, JICA, KOICA etc might be funders and or implement themselves amenities/facilities to act as processors and receiving goods. 

The era of the recycling king is past; breaking up goods that can be reused is energy inefficient.  

We look forward to hearing from you.
