# Introduction TIPS for makers and maker spaces to access resources for circular productions. Are you a maker passionate about circular production? Dive into our latest blog post exploring the vibrant world of makers dedicated to circular production! **Circular productions** are an approach to manufacturing and production.

The European Union provides subsidies for circular production projects to promote sustainable economic growth and reduce waste. There is plenty of information available about the European sources of funding and business support for circular-making endeavours. The European Union’s Horizon 2020 [Pop-Machina project](https://fablabbcn.org/projects/pop-machina) has helped the maker teams in their Accelerator Programme to get more help and information on this matter. The Pop-Machina Circular Maker Accelerator was a programme that aimed to offer makers the knowledge and skills required to scale-up their projects into viable business models following circular principles, which can remain sustainable and competitive in the current and future markets.
