In the October 2021 episode of the podcast "This is Europe", innovative sustainability initiatives across Europe are explored. In northern regions, master beer brewer Mattias Bergström partners with scientists to repurpose waste wheat from brewing into valuable resources, showcasing the potential of a circular economy backed by Interreg. Meanwhile, in Austria, Johannes Münsch and a coalition of Reuse advocates promote 'Smart Parks' featuring upcycling workshops and repair cafes, promoting a culture focused on waste reduction and sustainable lifestyles.
