Festa's role is to connect Icelandic parties when it comes to the Nordic Circular Hotspot.


Á heimasíðu Nordic Circular Hotspot má nálgast upplýsingar um fjölbreytta viðburði sem samtökin standa fyrir.

Here are some very short videos that explain what we mean when we talk about the circular economy:

Toolbox – implementation and strategy development


A broad Nordic collaboration, CIRCit, developed a toolkit for Nordic companies to facilitate their transition to circularity. The toolkit can be accessed here, and consists of workbooks and policy documents divided into six different components.


The circular economy and the construction industry

Green Building has compiled interesting material about the circular economy and the construction industry, which can be accessed here.

The Green City, in collaboration with the Civil Engineering Institute, has published a detailed brochure on the subject, which can be accessed here.
