The LOOP-Ports project ran from September 2018 to November 2020. It was coordinated by Fundación Valenciaport and funded by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) through the EIT Climate-KIC initiative. Its main goal was to facilitate the transition to a more circular economy in the port sector.
The network focused on high-emitting materials, mainly metals, plastics, cements and biomaterials. It facilitated the exchange of experience and good practices, provided policy recommendations and fostered training and new business opportunities in port clusters and related industries.
The website has an interactive port mapping tool where users can select ports using a variety of criteria, such as decommissioning and recycling of waste streams.
There is also a collection of good practices in areas such as recycling of waste streams, repair, maintenance and overhaul, and refurbishment.
