Deploying the circular economy across territories
Learn more
APESA supports public and private structures in reducing their consumption of materials, water and energy, in order to preserve natural resources. It also supports the structuring of public policies, the development of reuse sectors and the integration of circularity into corporate strategies.
The circular economy offer is structured around 4 means of action:
Individual support for the circularization of your strategy, policy or offer.
Technical studies to better understand certain issues related to the circular economy (deployment of sectors, internal organization, territorial cooperation, etc.).
Coordination of thematic networks at different scales (local, departmental, regional or national).
Training to ensure the skill development and empowerment of the individuals and organizations supported.

APESA coordinates, on behalf of ADEME or Regions, the national ITE networks (Synapse Network), Nouvelle-Aquitaine (EITNA) as well as the regional networks of territories committed to ADEME's TETE Reference Framework in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Occitanie regions.
How to maintain economic activity while reducing pressure on resources?
The current economic development model is largely based on a linear economy, which is incompatible with planetary boundaries.
For territories as well as for companies, this situation leads to increasing vulnerabilities. It is therefore essential to encourage cooperation between economic actors as well as a more sober and efficient development in the use of resources.
Overconsumption of resources
Dependence on raw materials
Increase in costs related to energy, waste and inputs
To local authorities (mainly EPCI)
To territorial coordination structures & networks of economic actors
To public institutions (ADEME, regions, ...)
To companies and other economic actors
