The EU-funded project Up2Circ supports European SMEs with free consultancy services and financial support in their transition towards circular economy. eco.income engineering is a ClimateTech startup offering carbon accounting with minimal effort and a free demo version. Together, they initiate a collaboration to accelerate the transition of European SMEs towards a circular economy. Main objective is to help SMEs interested in sustainability transformation with a holistic approach – SMEs can use eco.income’s tool to easily get familiar with their entire Climate Footprint and proceed with a more profound circularity journey with support of Up2Circ.
"In our view, calculating one's own corporate Climate Footprint is a good starting point to the circular economy in order to generate awareness of the consequences of one's own actions in the first place."
states Tim Zebahl, Consultant Innovation and Internationalization at Tutech Innovation, a technical coordinator of Up2Circ.
“We are still in the very beginning of a circular economy. The measures companies will need to take are likely to be quite new and hard. So calculating your corporate Climate Footprint to know where you stand in the first place should be easy. In that context we are excited and eager to support this very important EU project.”
says Jurij Peters, Co-founder and CEO at eco.income.
