Financial assistance of $180,000 $ to Lanaudi\u00e8re \u00c9conomique, whose mission is to\"Synergie<\/a>\u00a0is to respond to local economic development issues and contribute to the prosperity and influence of the Lanaudi\u00e8re region, was announced by state-owned RECYC-QU\u00c9BEC. The money will support the Synergie Lanaudi\u00e8re project, which aims to help the region's industries, businesses and institutions (ICI) realize by-product synergies in order to create a territorial industrial symbiosis. By supporting this project, the government hopes to promote the circular economy approach and help businesses reduce their environmental footprint.<\/p>\n

In concrete terms, this project aims to get a company that currently has to pay to dispose of a residue to transfer or sell it to a company that needs this material for its production. The resulting Lasymbiose is an upstream solution to the integrated management of residual materials on a regional scale, and increases the productivity of resources circulating on the market. Lasymbiose also contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gases, by locally implementing
\nComplementary networks and shorter supply and development circuits
\nresidual materials.<\/p>\n

Thanks to this financial support, Lanaudi\u00e8re \u00c9conomique will continue identifying and securing
\nsynergies between the region's businesses, and make more ICIs aware of the benefits of the local economy.
\nand will be able to identify complementary companies that would benefit from

This is made possible by the Green Fund, whose revenues come mainly from the carbon market,
\nthis financial support for Lanaudi\u00e8re \u00c9conomique is in line with the government's strategy of
\nsustainable development 2015-2020. It also illustrates this commitment in concrete terms
\nto build a green, prosperous and sustainable economy.<\/p>\n

The circular economy: driving sustainable development<\/strong>
\nThe circular economy is a system of production, exchange and consumption that aims to
\noptimize the use of resources at every stage in the life cycle of a good or service, in
\nthe concept of circularity, while reducing the environmental footprint and
\ncontributing to the well-being of individuals and communities. It involves new practices based on
\nthe use of goods rather than their possession, and the reuse, recycling and recovery of waste.

\n- This funding will be used to foster economic development by creating opportunities
\nfrom industrial residues.
\n- The objectives of the Synergie Lanaudi\u00e8re initiative include raising awareness and promoting
\nimplementation of concrete projects with local businesses.
\n- By the end of the project, Lanaudi\u00e8re \u00c9conomique and its partners will have met nearly 250 ICIs.

About the CALL FOR PROPOSALS TRANSITION TO THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY (APTEC)<\/strong>
\nThe Transition to the Circular Economy (APTEC) call for proposals stems from the Qu\u00e9bec Policy on the Circular Economy.
\nis managed by the government corporation RECYC-QU\u00c9BEC and financed by
\nthrough the Green Fund. APTEC is focusing more specifically on one area of the circular economy, namely
\nindustrial and territorial ecology. The aim is to create synergies between companies, i.e.
\nexchanges, so that the circulation of resources moves from a linear to a circular model. For
\nto achieve this goal, financial support is provided to organizations well-positioned to deploy
\nresources dedicated to networking and coordinating a circular economy approach on their territory.
