SwitchMed demonstration activities are being implemented on the ground
Seven projects implementing circular economy measures are running effectively.
In Algeria, the 2 pilot projects have kicked off at the beginning of 2017. At this right moment, the team of Rima Dates Company is building its expertise in the art of making responsibly sourced handmade chocolate, date syrup, date vinegar and date oil. On the other side of the country, the managers of the textile Workshop ‘Atelier le Printemps’ in Beijaía are identifying their needs and developing a plan of activities with the experts who will travel to Algeria in May 2017.
In Tunisia, the 3 projects are running effectively. With Dar Zaghouan we are finalizing the feasibility study on the implementation of the circular economy concept in their new eco-chalet and a specific plan of actions to be developed in order to be awarded with a Clé Verte Eco-label is ready. Sabra Olive oil and the experts are working hand in hand to complete the audit on the valorization of the olive by-products, which will define the next step of the project. They also looked at the compliance of the company with the criteria or the Tunisian eco-label under development. Tunisia Ecotourism is developing three eco-tours for tourists with the help of our experts, but are becoming more and more independent in creating such innovative products!
