Circular Lab Bayern – new platform to promote the circular economy in the electronics industry

22/05/2025

The new digital platform Circular Lab Bayern has gone live: www.circularlab-bayern.eu (only in German language). It supports stakeholders along the entire value and supply chain of electronics and electrical appliances in Bavaria in the implementation of sustainable and circular solutions. The platform offers extensive information, advice and networking opportunities.

As part of the Interreg CENTRAL-EUROPE project CIRCOTRONIC, the project partners want to create a network of six ‘Circular Labs’ in Central Europe to promote the circular economy in the electronics industry. The Bavarian Circular Lab was initiated and developed by the Bavarian Research Alliance (BayFOR). It provides a wide range of support services for the implementation of sustainable and circular solutions along the entire value and supply chain of electronics and electrical appliances in Bavaria.

The newly created Circular Lab Bayern is a network and digital platform that aims to connect stakeholders in Bavaria to jointly develop innovative solutions for a sustainable electronics industry. It is aimed at stakeholders from science and research & innovation, SMEs, start-ups, cities & municipalities and circular economy initiatives, including those in rural regions, and offers the following 6 services:

Advice on funding opportunities for circularity projects
Advice on free tools for assessing the circularity of electronic products
Information on current events and relevant developments in the electronics industry
Access to repair initiatives and online material marketplaces
Support in finding partners for R&D projects
Digital networking opportunities, as an alternative to hard-to-reach face-to-face events.

Further information and support services can be found on the Circular Lab Bayern website (in German language).
