Deploying proven circular economy solutions to prevent and eliminate plastic pollution across the Mediterranean basin requires tailored guidance, validated performance data, and accessible funding.
The REMEDIES Replication Packages provide interested stakeholders with an operational toolkit to replicate our field-tested innovations.
Explore the core resources below to assess local challenges, select suitable technologies, interpret impact benchmarks, and secure financing.
Regional Replication Pathway
A 5-step operational roadmap to guide local implementation from initial assessment to active deployment.
The Regional Replication Pathway outlines the essential steps Mediterranean stakeholders need to follow to replicate REMEDIES circular innovations:
- Identify Regional Needs: Pinpoint local pollution bottlenecks across data gaps, riverine leakage, or tourism surges.
- Select Solutions: Compare technical specifications and impacts via the factsheets and the online Innovation Marketplace.
- Build Regional Capability: Upskill local teams through open-access training modules on business modelling, IP, and fundraising.
- Identify Financing: Match your project with relevant regional, national, and European funding mechanisms.
- Deploy & Track: Implement the solution and monitor environmental indicators using the REMEDIES Impact Evaluation Dashboard.
Factsheet User Guide & Methodology Manual
Your companion guide to reading and understanding environmental and economic performance data.
The User Guide & Methodology Manual is directly connected to the Pillar Factsheets. Conducted by the University of Maribor (WP4) under ISO 14040/14044 standards, the factsheets present complex Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Life Cycle Costing (LCC), and Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) evaluations.
This brief guide explains:
- The difference between Hotspot Assessments and Comparative Assessments.
- The 5 standardised life-cycle phases: Raw Material Acquisition (RMA), Manufacturing (MAN), Distribution & Storage (DS), Use (USE), and End-of-Life (EoL).
- The 3 core questions to interpret whether carbon reductions align with operational cost savings and recycling credits.
Pillar Factsheets
Technical performance, operational data, and life-cycle benchmarks for REMEDIES innovations.
The Pillar Factsheets provide a clear overview of the solutions field-tested across the project’s three operational pillars:
- Pillar 1 | Monitoring & Detection: Real-time litter mapping, autonomous drones, smart buoys, and citizen science apps integrated with European databases.
- Pillar 2 | Collection & Valorisation: Decentralised, energy-efficient plastic interception via river barriers and advanced microplastic wastewater filtration systems.
- Pillar 3 | Prevention & Zero-Waste: Circular supply networks, reusable container ecosystems, atmospheric drinking water generators, and bio-based alternatives replacing single-use plastics.
Each technology features operational parameters, field results, and life-cycle evaluation charts.
Find Funding for Your Replication Project
Securing financial support is essential for transitioning from planning to on-the-ground deployment. We have mapped over 60 regional, national, and European funding programmes, filterable by funding type (grants, loans, blended finance), budget volume, eligible entity, and geographic coverage.
