LABEL4FUTURE: Designing Future-Oriented Ecosystems in EU Less Developed Regions
Label4Future (L4F) is dedicated to advancing circular economy practices and innovation in EU’s less developed regions—Slovakia, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Romania, and Poland. Focused on the plastics industry and related sectors, the project supports Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in creating innovative, sustainable solutions. Label4Future uses the power of creativity to build better futures for our people, planet, clients, and communities.
Ars Electronica Platform Europe’s dedication to sustainability and the evolvement of planetary narratives and practices makes Label4Future an ideal context to develop incubation strategies for innovative approaches to plastic. In a changemakers meetup and showcase at the Ars Electronica Festival 2024, we bring together artists, designers, and material researchers with the circular economy industry, and subsequently accompany them in their joint development process in the L4F incubation program.
