Circular Cities Day is part of the OECD Urban Days which brings together global leaders, experts and changemakers to discuss how to shape and finance inclusive, circular and sustainable cities.
Circular Cities Day will include sessions on Closing the loop: circular economy in European cities and regions and Circular cities and regions in action: insights from 10 policy scans (both organised jointly by the OECD and the Circular Cities and Regions Initiative).
This comprehensive toolkit assists countries with assessing circularity within their building sectors.
It provides quantitative and qualitative assessments through a set of indicators and a structured questionnaire, helping to identify gaps and priorities for improving circular material and waste flows, reducing environmental impacts and enhancing economic and social benefits.
ASF is a methodology developed for the sustainability assessment of additive use throughout the lifecycle of PVC articles.
