SEI Tallinn’s Green and Circular Economic Transformation Unit deals with policy implementation related to sustainable consumption and production, including circular economy, sustainable waste management, and risk assessment.
Our aim is to improve resource management and decrease environmental impact in both public and private sectors through research and capacity building.
