In a pioneering effort, the GreenSet initiative is transforming tourism SMEs across Europe by integrating circular economy practices. This initiative, part of the Transition Pathways project, empowers SMEs to significantly reduce their environmental impact by rethinking resource use, minimizing waste, and embracing innovative recycling methods.

Operating across various European destinations, this initiative equips SMEs with essential resources, expert guidance, and a collaborative network to embrace sustainability. This transformation not only cuts costs and enhances competitiveness but also aligns with evolving global environmental standards, offering a vital pathway to a more sustainable future in tourism.
