A critical review of the Circular Flanders partnership was conducted in 2023 at the request of its steering group. The report considered what the partnership has set in motion, what significant changes would not have happened without the Circular Flanders partnership, and what would make the partnership even more powerful.

This report takes stock of what Circular Flanders has achieved and what else it can do to promote the circular economy in very practical terms. It lists the projects and initiatives through which the partnership supports the circular transition.

The GO-GRASS White Paper for grassland opportunities demonstrates innovative and diverse ways of considering surplus grass and grasslands as new resources for the benefit of society, the environment and businesses. It shows the importance of a supportive business environment that encourages innovative, grass-based businesses. 

The GO-GRASS project aims to create new business opportunities in rural areas based on grassland valorisation, and to support their replication throughout rural communities in the EU. Since October 2019, the project has connected 22 partners from eight countries, which are developing small-scale demonstration sites for a circular agrifood system in four EU countries - Denmark, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands.
