The CIRCULOOS has launched two complementary funding opportunities: Open Call 2 (OC2) and Open Call 3.1 (OC3.1).
Types of Grants
- Open Call 2 (OC2)
- Goal: OC2 supports the formation of new circular supply chains, of consortia of 2-4 entities, to develop and implement novel circular value chain demonstrators.

It encourages collaboration among supply chain actors, manufacturers, recyclers, and technology providers to develop solutions in sectors such as metal, construction, electrical, furniture, leather, machinery, vehicles, wood, and plastic.
- Open Call 3.1 (OC3.1)

Selected entities will contribute by improving resource recovery, refining manufacturing processes, or identifying new market players to strengthen circularity.
