Their daily activities contribute to several Sustainable Development Goals (6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 17) by promoting sustainable energy use via LCAs and CO2 footprint analyses. Ecoras aids companies in innovating sustainability and enhancing industry practices by closing resource cycles and managing waste streams responsibly. For example, in the "From plastic soup to vegetable soup" project, they are developing alternatives to harmful plastic products affecting the Wadden Sea. Emphasizing the need for cooperation in achieving a circular economy, Ecoras brings together various stakeholders to align on shared goals. Their mission focuses on creating circular value chains by utilizing environmental, technical, and economic opportunities, all aimed at promoting a more responsible use of resources. By designing and organizing production systems in a practical and circular manner, Ecoras strives towards a sustainable economy that minimizes waste and contributes to a livable planet for the future.
