Taranto Circolare aims to make an impact by supporting the ecological transformation of Taranto, with a focus on the Città Vecchia. This platform is a springboard for projects, companies and services through analysis and knowledge of the area.
On the platform the material and energy flows of the Città Vecchia and of Taranto can be measured, as well as the business models of the main players, to understand the local potential and stimulate circular change in the city. Measuring and understanding the reference reality are the first step for the creation of solid and impactful projects.
Taranto Circolare is designed to connect ideas and people, offering various features to support the city and companies. Ad hoc tools are available to measure the circularity of companies and cities; it is possible to find calls for proposals and projects; thanks to the platform, there is the opportunity to get in touch directly with different actors and to develop collaborations also beyond Taranto Circolare.
