The EU Interreg 2 Seas project FACET focuses on implementing circular solutions in the tourism and leisure sectors.

The circular economy is about migrating from the current business-as-usual linear system of production and consumption toward a system that focuses on valorising and circulating resources for environmental,  social,  and economic sustainability.  

This white paper proposes a  six-step framework for local authorities in their efforts to accelerate the transition to a circular economy.

This framework builds upon the experiences of the FACET project, which has accelerated the implementation of circular solutions in four local areas in the 2 Seas regions, as well as other existing literature and past European projects.
