The Interreg 2 Seas FACET project aims to encourage entrepreneurs in the tourism sector to apply circular solutions within their businesses to create new sustainable business models. With a strong consortium of project partners from Belgium, England, France and the Netherlands, circular applications have been experimented with in the areas of accommodation, waste reduction and circular business practices.
In these short videos we tell you more about the project FACET and the contribution of each project partner .

In this pilot, we demonstrate Circular Solutions for the management and valorization of shellfish waste in the tourism sector in Baie de Somme. Project manager Eliane Matreau tells more about this pilot.
Research and demonstrating the viability of circular economy tourist accommodation
HZ university of applied sciences researched business cases of entrepreneurs participating in the project and created several informational downloads to help entrepreneurs shift to circularity. They also demonstrate the viability of circular economy tourist accommodation by co-creating a demo bioCircular accommodation with stakeholders. The focus of this pilot is to look both at techniques using waste material as well as working with parts that could be used in new accommodation or been giving another “afterlife”.
