In Auvergne-Rhône Alpes, the economic and energy transition of companies and regions is both a necessity and a real opportunity in terms of employment and resources, economic development, regional planning and sustainable development.
In this context, the circular economy opens the way to a more respectful model of people and resources. It invites us to build sustainable, local cooperation between all people working in the area. The many initiatives already begun at regional level by companies, local authorities and associations bear witness to this.
ECLAIRA, the circular economy network in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes was created as a networking tool to share existing initiatives, mobilize a wide range of stakeholders and support new regional and local initiatives.
