EREK - your reference point on business competitiveness through resource efficiency.

Over the years, EREK has achieved the creation of a pan-European community – including in particular resource efficiency providers, experts and environmental agencies – that facilitates the creation, exchange and dissemination of knowledge and good practices.

It has also created a virtual knowledge centre with a catalogue of more than 600 fiches provides hard evidence for companies to be able to engage in resource efficiency solutions and the mapping of more than 360 support programmes from all over Europe and information on EREK network members can help and support the transfer of knowledge among members.

The project has produced a strategic report on the role of clusters and the circular economy, 18 newsletters and five quarterlies on topics such as ‘Digitalisation and Resource Efficiency’, ‘Eco-design: get off to a good start in the circular economy’ and ‘Industrial Symbiosis’. The website also hosts a library with the latest reports on resource efficiency and the circular economy.

EREK has also organised 12 workshops, two webinars and an international conference, reaching out to more than 1,000 participants; SMEs, business support organisations, academics and policy makers.
