Ruskon­ni­it­ty – Cen­tre for Cir­cu­lar Econ­o­my

 Ruskon­ni­it­ty will pave the way for new com­pa­nies, pro­vide a test plat­form for inno­va­tions and cre­ate more jobs. At the same time, it serves as a devel­op­ment plat­form and enables the devel­op­ment of cir­cu­lar eco­nom­ic busi­ness mod­els.

The design and con­struc­tion of a recy­cling cen­tre by Ram­boll is part of the 6AIKA: CircHubs project.  CircHubs makes it eas­i­er for com­pa­nies to get up and run­ning with cir­cu­lar econ­o­my busi­ness and test new inno­va­tions.

CircHubs project focus­es on cir­cu­lar hubs that play an impor­tant role both when it comes to cre­at­ing new busi­ness based on cir­cu­lar econ­o­my and new oper­at­ing mod­els. Cir­cu­lar hubs in dif­fer­ent cities include mul­ti­ple actors in cir­cu­lar econ­o­my, which means that they serve as region­al scenes for cir­cu­lar econ­o­my and indus­tri­al sym­bio­sis. In the future, these hubs pro­vide a place for com­pa­nies to pilot their busi­ness solu­tions and a chance to find syn­er­gies, for exam­ple, in the region’s infra­struc­ture or oth­er com­pa­nies active in the area.

Exist­ing cir­cu­lar econ­o­my clus­ters can already be found in Helsin­ki, Turku and Tam­pere. The cen­tre in Oulu will start oper­at­ing in 2020.

The project timetable is 1 May 2017 — 30 Sep­tem­ber 2019.
