RE:Source

RE:Source is part of Vinnova's, the Swedish Energy Agency’s and Formas’ joint investment in strategic innovation areas.

To achieve the goal of sustainable resource use, we need to extract less primary raw materials, reuse materials and components, and prevent and recycle as much as possible of what is currently becoming waste.

RE:Source is responsible for formulating challenges, setting common long-term goals and prioritizing investments in research, development and innovation. The program focuses on developing circular, resource-efficient material flows. RE:Source helps with funding, facts and knowledge, expertise, dissemination of results and match-making. This creates the conditions for new business and working methods.

Our projects

We have two different types of project types within RE:Source: open call projects that focus on innovative solutions and strategic projects that analyze resource and material use from a larger perspective to ensure that RE:Source contributes to developing solutions that are actually in demand and can have an effect.

RE:Source's work is based on the innovation agenda

The innovation agenda for sustainable resource use, the RE:Agenda, forms the basis for RE:Source's work. The RE:Agenda describes Sweden's need for research and innovation, i.e. how knowledge building and new solutions can be created in the innovation area of sustainable resource use.
