Moving PLastics and mAchine iNdustry towards Circularity (Plan-C) project boosts the transformation of the plastics value chain in the Danube countries towards circularity through the transnational cooperation of plastics processors/producers and the machine industry. Based on transnational technology transfer and a design thinking process, both actor groups jointly develop prototype solutions of plastics products + machine concepts designed for circularity to demonstrate
the benefits of recycling/reuse/remanufacturing through innovative business cases. The Plan-C project consortium of 14 partners from DE, AT, CZ, SK, HU, RS, BiH, RO, and MD aims to boost the transformation of the plastics value chain in the Danube Region towards circularity through the
transnational cooperation of plastics, processors/producers and the machine industry. Close cooperation among partners across the Danube Region countries is required to introduce a fundamental change in this complex plastics value chain, implying a radical shift of mindsets, behaviour, and business paradigms.
