The main aim of the NETcircular+ project is to create a serious, practical and entertaining game, in both physical and digital format, that helps companies working in the primary, industrial and service sectors to identify, assess and prioritise strategic opportunities for implementing and managing circular and sustainable business models and value chains.
The name of the game, NETcircular+, was inspired by the NET POSITIVE concept, which seeks to help companies ensure that their net social, economic and environment impact is positive, despite any harmful effects their business activities may have.
