Redefining circularity in Europe with IS2H4C

In this episode, Areti Ntaradimou spoke with Dr Devrim Murat Yazan, coordinator of the ambitious European IS2H4C project, short for Implementing Systemic and Sustainable Industrial Symbiosis for Hubs for Circularity. At its core, IS2H4C aims to make the circular economy a practical reality. The project integrates advanced technologies such as carbon capture, electrolysis and digital tools, but it also recognises that true circularity depends on people, partnerships and policies. Aligned with the European Green Deal and the Circular Economy Action Plan, IS2H4C embodies Europe’s commitment to achieving long-term climate neutrality. Dr Yazan highlights a growing momentum across Europe toward “systemic circularity”, where industrial, urban and rural systems are connected through collaborative hubs. Supported by the European Commission, IS2H4C is one of four large-scale projects designed to establish these Hubs for Circularity, turning policy ambitions into operational models for sustainable growth.
