The central objective of the Circular Economy Action Plan, (CEAP), which is linked to the Circular Economy for SMEs (CESME) Action Plan, was to influence the available policy tools toward a CE, with a special focus on the Regional Operational Programme (ROP) of Central Macedonia. This was supported by actions that increased the awareness of potential SME beneficiaries so that the beneficiaries/SMEs are included in actions that are funded by the ROP.

The overall goal was for 80 SMEs in the region to improve their resource efficiency through CE actions.

The CEAP for the promotion of a CE in the region of Central Macedonia consists of three main pillars:

• ‘Specialisation’ of the RIS3 Strategy.
• Incorporation of CE actions into the ROP of Central Macedonia 2014–2020.
• Implicit incorporation of the issues of the CE into the ROP of the next programming period (2021-2027) and its funding priorities.

Moreover, there are two more CEAPs in the framework of the participation, which are on BIOREGIO and SinCE-AFC projects.
