Scope

Cities have a critical role to play in the transition from a linear to a circular economy. They are centres of consumption and production, and they host the systems and policies that enable and govern urban life. 

This guidance document aims to help cities identify actions and solutions that can accelerate their circular transition. The document covers eight key sectors with high circular potential: Built environment, Consumer goods, Food, Manufacturing, Mobility and logistics, Tourism and leisure, Waste and material management and Water and wastewater management. 

The circular approaches that can be adopted in each sector are introduced first, and this is followed by examples of potential circular actions and solutions.

See Circular City Centre - C3.

The Global Summit on Environmental Science and Engineering will present the most recent developments in this field, with highly cited researchers, industrial leaders and exhibitors sharing their research. The sessions will cover topics such as waste-to-energy conversion, landfill management and waste management.

PACCT for Sustainability (Product as a service to Accelerate Cooperation & Circular Transformation) is a platform which aims to make service and sustainability the keystone of businesses across Europe and to build a European community focused on Product as a Service.

It is organising a webinar exploring how Efficiency-as-a-Service in the building sector can be a game changer in achieving key environmental targets and objectives.
