Western Macedonia is a region in Greece rich in lignite deposits which have been used for decades to produce electricity, covering more than 70% of the country’s total needs! The region is shifting now towards a green economy that will create employment opportunities for locals, while preserving and protecting the environment of Western Macedonia.
Waste management, the circular economy and the urban bioeconomy will play a central role in this transition. To promote investments in circular economy, Western Macedonia has joined the HOOP project ([ Ссылка ]) as one of its 8 lighthouse cities and regions.

About HOOP project:
HOOP is about investing in local initiatives to extract valuable resources from urban #biowaste and wastewater in order to make innovative bio-based products. Advancing Europe’s circular economy agenda, as a main pillar of the European Green Deal, HOOP will provide direct Project Development Assistance (PDA) to municipalities so they can build their administrative, technical, economic, financial and legal expertise. This project will help enhance the return on investments by reusing resources, creating jobs, and developing local #bioeconomy capacity.
The HOOP project supports 8 lighthouse cities and regions in developing large-scale urban circular bioeconomy initiatives that will focus on sustainably obtaining bio-based products from urban biowaste and wastewater. The HOOP Urban Circular Bioeconomy Hub will create an online platform to foster knowledge exchange and replication in cities across Europe.
