The French National Institute for Circular Economy (INEC) has published this paper which aims to use schools - a place familiar to all - as showcases for the circular economy. It contains a series of good practices (for public and private actors, youth) comprising over 40 territorial initiatives and 50 operational solutions, on the following themes:

1. school buildings (construction, renovation)
2. energy supply
3. inner/outer spatial planning
4. stationery-equipment-furniture
5. school cleaning (products and apparel, staff training)
6. food loop (local and sustainable food, waste, water fountains)
7. logistics (mobility, deliveries)
8. student awareness (waste management, recycling, exchange).
