Hatay Metropolitan Municipality (HBB) is interested in collaborating as an active project partner to implement sustainable circular economy models at the local governance level. Leveraging our extensive experience in botanical initiatives, sustainable urban development, and regional resource management, we aim to contribute to this transnational project by:

Integrating Circularity into Urban Planning: Developing pilot actions that transform urban waste management and resource recovery into actionable local policies.

Stakeholder Engagement: Mobilizing local communities, cooperatives, and SMEs to adopt circular production patterns, particularly in the fields of medicinal/aromatic plants and sustainable agriculture.

Knowledge Exchange: Facilitating the transfer of successful municipal practices into transnational innovation frameworks to scale up circular ambitions.

We are looking for consortium partners to build a synergetic approach towards practical, inclusive, and scalable circular economy solutions that serve both local resilience and European green goals.
