Circular MuSe - Pilot Projects and International Expert Review

Circular MuSe is moving the discussion on the circular economy from theory to practice. In Wejherowo, project partners are presenting pilot solutions, discussing technical assumptions, and presenting investment plans. Each project undergoes an international expert review including presentation, technical questions, risk analysis, and recommendations from other partners and invited experts. This method allows rapid identification of gaps, cost optimization, and preparation of scalable models ready for implementation in other cities and municipalities.

Examples of pilot projects and their practical significance
• Wejherowo – reuse of sand from winter street cleaning
We analyze material quality, cleaning methods, and potential applications in urban infrastructure (e.g. sub-bases, green areas). Benefits: reduced waste, lower raw material purchase costs, and reduced environmental burden.
• Denmark – use of sediment from swimming pools
Research focuses on safe processing of sediments and possibilities of using them in urban greenery or as a raw material for construction materials. This approach combines public health protection with efficient resource management.
• Sweden – management of sediments in municipal services 🇸🇪
A comprehensive approach combining technical, regulatory, and social aspects, with an emphasis on long-term environmental and economic benefits. The project shows how to integrate circular solutions into local policies and practices.

Why it matters and what the goal is
All pilot projects pursue one goal: reducing waste, extending the lifecycle of resources, and creating practical, replicable models. International expert feedback helps refine solutions so that they are safe, cost-effective, and socially acceptable. Thanks to this, small towns and rural areas receive real tools for circular transformation that can be implemented with limited budgets. 🛠️📈
