The Authority of Harbour System of Mare Adriatico Meridionale has joined to the Network Ports LOOP



The Authority of Harbour System of Mare Adriatico Meridionale has joined to the European Network Circular Economy Network of Ports (Ports LOOP) finalized to facilitate and to promote the transition process towards a circular economy, through the measure and proposed new introduction legislative of development in various fields which the production, the consumption, the management of the refusals, the secondary market of the raw materials, the promotion of the search, the development and the innovation.

In particular, the project Ports LOOP", that it involves six Member States of the EU (Low Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Denmark and Paesi), intends to promote, in the harbour field, the circular economy through the creation of a net that will facilitate the exchange of information and of experiences between its members, it will establish contacts between the different stakeholders and will create synergies, offering various instruments of improvement to the actors involved in the harbour community.

The project re-enters in program EU EIT Climate-KIC SGA 2018, a community, which supported from Istituto Europeo di Innovazione and Tecnologia, that it works in order to accelerate the process of transformation of in economics sustainable the current economy, the innovative instrument that besides to guarantee impact zero on the climate and the atmosphere, produces to new increase and development forms.

"The harbour areas - it has observed the president of the Authority of Harbour System, Ugo Patroni Griffi, having explained the motivations of the adhesion to the project - can constitute the optimal fulcrum on which to implant an action plan of circular economy. All the types of waste and of industrial flows, in fact, meet in the hub logistic, in order then to be shunted in the final destinations. For such reasons the harbour clusters are the ideal places in order to estimate, to test and to start new strategies of circular economy. The project to which we have joined - has explained Patrons Griffi - more circular in the harbour field will be developed in two years of activity with the purpose to facilitate the transition towards an economy, where the produced ones, the materials and the resources are not considered refusals but they can become models of sustainable and replicable businesses in ports with similar characteristics. Regarding our truth we will be able to receive from the Network a fundamental support in the process of industrial reconversion in course, mainly, in the port of Brindisi in an optical of consolidation of the induced one of the blue economy".
