Intensive discussions resulted from the first regional stakeholder meeting in Styria. Nearly 20 participants accepted the invitation of the province of Styria to engage in an intensive exchange over the coming years. Representatives of the provincial administration, waste consultants from Styrian waste management associations, the city of Graz, social enterprises and the Austrian umbrella organisation RepaNet were just as present as those of the Styrian Chamber of Commerce, a company from the IT ReUse sector, universities and universities of applied sciences (from the design sector), NGOs and private initiatives (Association for Waste Avoidance, Association "Sustainable in Graz", Stadtlabor Graz) as well as the Styrian Green Tech Cluster. As colourful as the stakeholder group were the contributions, which will be clustered in the future. In addition to the regional stakeholder meetings, working groups on key topics in the ReUse sector are to be developed and a platform for the exchange of information established. The regional study report on the status situation of ReUse in Styria is to result in a kind of dynamic ReUse map so that future innovations and adaptations can be easily incorporated. This will be the focus of the second regional stakeholder meeting at the end of June 2020.
