SWAN Platform a digital solid waste reuse platform for Balkan
SHORT DESCRIPTION
The SWAN platform is an integrated suite of on-line resources and tools for assessing novel industrial symbiotic opportunities based on solid industrial waste reuse. It integrates a database with spatial and technical characteristics of industrial solid waste producers and potential consumers and an inventory of the commercially implemented best practices on solid industrial waste reuse. It also provided the opportunity to the registered users to run the SWAN matching algorithms and identify and assess potential novel business models based on solid waste reuse, either for a company of their interest or a specific region.

Bearer of the idea
“INTERREG Balkan-Mediterranean 2014-2020” is a new cooperation Programme, deriving from both the strong will of the “BalkanMed” participating countries to promote cooperation in the area and the split of the “South East Europe 2007-2013″. The Programme brings together five (5) countries, three (3) EU member states (Bulgaria, Cyprus and Greece) and two (2) candidate countries, Albania and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. Bulgarian partner – Bulgarian Industrial Association
