Deepening the circular economy, based on the efficient use of resources, as a business opportunity in the furniture and construction sectors has been the objective of more than twenty professionals from the business world, research personnel and students interested in this area, which have participated in the workshop held at the Universitat Jaume I in Castelló organized by UJI and ITC as members of the European project KATCH-e, one of whose fundamental objectives is to implement circularity in these sectors.

Professionals from the world of design, architecture, construction, habitat, the furniture sector, etc., have analysed certain business and design circular models, as well as studying the efficiency of resources and trying to define what kind of training would be necessary so that companies are prepared to meet the global challenge of adapting to the circular economy.

On 21st and 22nd June 2017, a follow-up meeting of the KATCH-e project is held at the ITC, which aims to contribute to innovation in the higher education system, as well as to influence business strategies and development of new products and services in line with the circular economy and the principles of sustainability.

KATCH-e is led by LNEG, the National Laboratory of Energy and Geology of Portugal and has three years. It is part of the Erasmus+ programme, funded by the European Commission with the participation of the University of Aveiro (Portugal) ITC, UJI and Prospektiker (Spain), Vienna Technical University, Austrian Institute of Ecology (Austria) and the University of Aalborg (Denmark). In addition, companies related to construction materials and the Portuguese, Austrian and Danish habitats are part of this consortium.
